Violin lessons overview

My personalized approach to teaching violin encompasses empathy, technique focus, engaging methods, ear training, and performance coaching. I adapt my lessons to cater to individual needs and learning styles, fostering clear communication and a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their challenges and goals. By integrating relevant music theory and technique, I ensure a comprehensive learning experience. I utilize a variety of tech tools such as DAWs, ear training software, and metronome apps to enhance interactive lessons. Following diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and others, I engage with a small audience of less than 10 students at school, college, all levels, and adult/professional learners, aiming to make each violin lesson enjoyable and rewarding.

String crossing and double stops used to be very difficult for my son but Roman ’s warm up violin practice lessons made a big difference. Now, whenever he plays in the school orchestra, he plays with more confidence.

If you're in Marina District and looking for a fantastic violin teacher, Roman is the one. I’m returning to the violin after a break, and he’s been amazing at helping me improve my bowing and regain my muscle memory. I’m so grateful for all the support and guidance he’s given me. Perfect example of beauty with brain.

Preparing for All-State auditions in Sam Hughes was much less stressful thanks to the focused violin guidance and calming support I received from Roman , whose strategic drills helped me earn a top 5 spot in my section.
