Reviews and Ratings for Elara Vancroft

I tried learning violin online but wasn't getting far, so I joined Vancroft ’s in-person lessons in The Oaks, and it completely transformed my playing. She taught me bow control techniques that instantly enhanced my sound. We also focused on ear tuning, which helped me finally understand what "intonation" is. Each lesson builds on the last, and Vancroft takes the time to explain not just how to play, but why it's important. I'm so grateful for her support every week.

Walking into Vancroft ’s class felt calming right away. She gave me vocal warm ups which I still use before gigs. With her violi lessos in Raleigh I really started trusting my own sound.

Vancroft ’s early focus on sight reading worked wonders . My daughter now confidently plays straight from sheet music.

I’ve been learning violin on and off for years, but it wasn’t until I started lessons with Vancroft in Castro that everything finally made sense. Vancroft has a special way of explaining difficult techniques like shifting and vibrato that no other teacher has. she makes complicated things much easier to understand, and I’ve finally started to make real progress. her teaching has made a big difference in my playing.
