For over 20 years, I have successfully taught students achieve outstanding results. My teaching philosophy integrates the traditional methods of the European Masters with my own exercises, techniques, and accelerated learning strategies, allowing students to progress quickly and efficiently. Many graduates from my studio have been accepted into prestigious conservatories, including Oberlin Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, and Rutgers Mason Gross School of Music, as well as winning numerous competitions across the United States. I am deeply passionate about music and enjoy working with students of all levels, from beginners to advanced and adults. My lessons are available both in person and virtually, ensuring flexibility no matter where you are located. My studio, situated in Burtonsville, MD, is geared towards motivated students seeking a comprehensive and enjoyable music education that emphasizes both technical excellence and artistic expression. I place particular importance on building a strong foundation in classical music, which I believe is essential for mastering other musical styles and techniques. With my guidance, you will receive step-by-step instruction designed to help you achieve your goals and enhance your musical abilities. I have performed a wide variety of genres, including classical, pop, jazz, folk, tango, salon music, as well as chamber and orchestral music, and I can offer practical solutions to accelerate your progress. I look forward to hearing from you and working together to help you reach your full potential.

Ms.Adina is a wonderful teacher. She is very patient with a beginner. My daughter recently changed a violin teacher to Ms.Adina.

I would recommend her for anyone.
