Introduction

I have over 20-years of experience playing the violins and over 10-years teaching music. I've experienced every type of performance environment and performed all over the world. Additionally, I've attended every type of music festival and learned from world-class musicians. My expertise expands beyond just the violin and includes piano, clarinet, conducting, and composition. Music and playing is very personal so I believe 1 on 1 lessons to be extremely effective and I make it so. I make sure each lesson the students hear improvements and see progress and achieve their own goals the best way possible.

I really enjoyed my first initial lesson with Fedor, and look forward to becoming a regular student learning violin and how to master it with him. Even with current conditions which affect going out in public, we had a Skype call and I received immense value from it.

Fedor did a fantastic job with my teenage son in just a few weeks of lessons. He is technically very strong and gives good advice to students, he has a clear understanding of each individual's strengths and areas of improvement. He is flexible and very supportive. My son who has had a few teachers before, loves working with Fedor.

Fedor is an excellent diagnostician when it comes to the student's needs in terms of improving their technique, both bow and left hand. He is a well-rounded musician who can not only play very well, he can clearly explain and effectively demonstrate correct technique, teach music theory, and is genuinely devoted to helping the student improve.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a wide range of options for students with different needs and budgets. Privates Lesson: 1hr - $110 45m - $85 30m - $60 Master Class Group (max 4 people): 1hr - $40 Playing Review 1hr - $20 The above can be multiplied by 4 to find the average monthly total you can expect for tuition.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I recommend taking advantage of a free consultation session that I offer to new students. It gives me a chance to learn more about your goals and expectations, as well as an opportunity for you to learn about what options are available for you and the advantages of each. After that, the first lesson called the trial lesson is an opportunity for us to see if I'm a good fit for you and for me to get to know you or your kid and of course to teach you some basics if you are starting out, or to provide you with my comments and recommendations. Because there is always a chance that I'm not a good fit for you or your kid, I offer the trial at 50% off my usual rate. Aside from the consultation session and trial lesson, you will also receive a practice guide outlining what and how to practice between now and the next lesson, tailored to you and your current level so that practicing isn't daunting and frustrating, and instead is fun and exciting! I'll also give you any sheet music of etudes I recommend, including materials that I have designed to help students learn skills quickly and efficiently. If you are new, I'll also give you suggestions on where to obtain an instrument and how to take care of one.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied at Juilliard with Naoko Tanaka and many extremely successful musicians throughout my studies. If you’d like my full CV, go to my website and click on Bio
