I am offering violin lessons in a variety of styles, from pop to classical to soul. I tailor my approach to your style of learning or musical interests. Let me know your favorite artists, and I will find a way to teach you violin in a way that is fun and engaging using their music.

Although I'm a native German speaker, I do not have an accent because I grew up with an English speaking parent and have lived in the USA for +15 years.

Elyana is an effective and responsible tutor and works with the student at their level to narrow gaps in learning. My son had been motivated to learn, confident in his music, and challenged to strive for the best. Thank you!

Very knowledgable teacher who is great with kids

My kids (9 and 11) have very little violin experience, and Elyana was very patient with them. She communicates clearly and breaks down the instruction in sensible ways so they can understand easily. We had a great experience with Elyana and we look forward to learning with her more in the future!
