After playing for a long time in SE Cape Coral, I was looking for violin lessons and a tutor who could refine my technique. Luckily Bomalaski is exactly what I needed.

After being inspired by a symphony concert in Yucca, I began working on bow control drills and expressive phrasing with Bomalaski in our Violin lessons, and now I’m thrilled to be preparing for my first solo recital.

I was so worried about my school audition, it's the time I met Bomalaski , her violin lessons were customised, so we worked on timing, music, and performance mindset. she made me confident enough for the auditions that I made through it.

The way of Bomalaski making classical music feel fresh and engaging. We've explored works by composers like Bach and Schubert on my acoustic violin, and her tips on expression and phrasing have really added depth to my playing. She also records my sessions so I can listen back and track how much I’ve improved

The structured lessons and upbeat vibe kept me hooked, especially when learning barre chords and stage tricks all thanks to Bomalaski !

The way Bomalaski rekindled my love of music says a lot about her guitar teaching style. her way of linking pentatonics and modes improved my fretboard understanding. she constantly inspire me to learn more.
