Looking ahead and beyond, he has plans for further recording projects, alongside his ongoing work as a teaching artist and examiner.

Every student is unique, so we adjust the program to find the best way to achieve optimal results and progress for each individual.
Lessons are complex and inspiring. After just a few lessons, each student works with a personalised checklist that improves their sound and makes things easier.
Music teaches us almost everything, including how to invest our time and attention to receive and achieve whatever we desire.
Smart studying is fun, and this is just the beginning. I teach my students how to develop habits and practise mindfully and effectively.
I prepare students for all types of exams, as well as international and national competitions.
Instruments are available on-site, so you don’t need to worry.
We also rent and sell stringed instruments (violins, violas, and cellos) that are individually selected for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. You will have the opportunity to try and play different instruments anytime to find the one that suits you best.
Teaching Info
TEACHING ARTISTS SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND DISCUSS STUDENT PROGRAMS WEEKLY.
We developed a teaching procedure named Intelligent Violin Practicing Method. The system is based on understanding rather than repeating only and is very motivating for students.
Our program focuses on technique, as this is usually the most important factor, just after musicality and creativity.
The system is based on understanding rather than repetition and is very motivating for students.
The teaching program is based on international violin traditions, mostly European. We know many different teaching programs and we study them constantly.
We are familiar with European national programs, especially from the U.K. and Poland, where the governments have founded elite music schools that are required to follow a specific teaching program.
We adjust that program for each student individually, and this is what accelerates the teaching process.
After only a few months, our students show strong development in their passion for music, their technique, and their musicality. Many have gone on to win prizes at some of the most prestigious domestic and international competitions.
Experience and a world-class education have taught us how to talk with students to motivate them to practise and make it fun.
Lessons include the opportunity to play in ensembles with other students and professional instrumentalists. At Strings Embassy, we teach violin, viola, string ensemble, and theory of music to students of all ages and levels: kids, teenagers, adults, and professional-level musicians. We are experienced in preparing students for AMEB, ABRSM and HSC examinations, as well as Eisteddfods and other competitions.
