Giving twin boys together isn’t easy, but Diego pulled it off. his clever ways of explaining scales and finger patterns kept both of them engaged and learning at the same time.

My perspective on violin bowing has been significantly altered thanks to Diego guidance. he instructed me in various techniques for holding the bow and clarified the importance of selecting rosin based on atmospheric conditions. Since transitioning to a carbon fiber bow on my violin, I've observed a remarkable improvement in its responsiveness.

Thanks to the helpful exercises introduced during Violin sessions in Beverly Hills my daughter finally mastered shifting into third position- Diego ’s guidance boosted his confidence, and now he’s tackling a Suzuki Book 4 piece.
