Starting violin after retirement in Sunland Village has been a wonderful experience, with Tonco ’s teaching style making learning enjoyable and age-appropriate, especially in the way she focuses on posture and tone during music lessons.

From the beginning, Tonco made the violin feel accessible and manageable and she is every parent's dream tutor for their children. she adds humour to her teaching and makes it fun to learn. she is very structured and organised with her lessons as well and has helped my son improve her posture. her intonation and has improved her confidence while performing. With just 5 lessons with her, my son joined the school orchestra and I cannot thank Tonco enough for sharing her knowledge and helping my son so patiently!

Violin lessons focusing on scales and light etudes turned out to be just what my 12 year old needed. Tonco ’s teaching style helped her move up to a short concerto, and she just passed her performance exam with distinction.

Studying with Tonco , who focuses on historically informed performance, has profoundly changed my understanding of Baroque musical expression. Her guidance on utilizing reduced bow weight and flexible pacing on my gut-stringed violin allows me to deeply connect with the compositions. Her instruction transports me into the very heart of the music.
