emc 2263 says, "My daughter took violin lessons from Jean-Michel for about one year in Hawaii. We were so glad we found him he is clearly a gifted violinist and a kind, thorough teacher. My daughter loved going to her lessons and improved significantly under his teachings. My daughter was able to learn many skills that she otherwise would not have obtained in school, and was able to get a higher seat in the school orchestra after a couple months of lessons. It was overall a great experience to have and we were saddened to stop the lessons only because we moved to another state. We are sincerely grateful, not only for his amazing violin techniques and teachings, but also for his kindness and generosity. My daughter and I strongly recommend him as a violin teacher for his skills and his equally wonderful personality."See more
