Dimond District, Oakland

After a year of self-teaching, I started working with Ravensdale in Dimond District. She corrected my posture and bowing issues that were limiting my progress. Now, my sound is much clearer, and I actually look forward to practicing. Ravensdale strikes a perfect balance between technical skills and expression, and she monitors my progress closely. She even introduced me to different styles beyond classical music. I’m amazed at how much I’ve improved in just a few months.
