Kevin is a great teacher for adults. He is patient but demanding in terms of tone, tempo, rhythm, technique, and musicality. He is always pleasant and good natured during lessons.

About Studio Z Violin
Hey there! My name is Kevin, and I've been playing classical violin for more than 20 years. I have music degrees in violin performance from Yale University and Rice University, and I am also the music director and conductor of the New Haven Chamber Orchestra. I hold my students to very high standards, but I do so in a very friendly and patient manner. My students have performed in Carnegie Hall, and won principal positions in top youth orchestras. I like to approach teaching from a very friendly and accessible angle. I've come across many teachers in the past that are rather unpleasant, and I'd like to move as far from that as possible. I arm my students with a solid understanding of the fundamentals so they can overcome any challenge they face, and ultimately become their own teachers. I really love teaching as a whole. I think it's a great privilege to be able to inspire and educate both younger and older generations in music. That being said, what I like most about teaching is watching my students develop and grow over time. It's a wonderful feeling to see a student make huge leaps and achieve great things!

Patient teacher for my beginner 6 year old daughter. She enjoys the lessons and the violin. Punctual, detail oriented.
Helpful and patient. Makes sure I don't develop bad habits and goes through lessons at a good pace. A perfect instructor for someone that is learning the instrument for the very first time. The lessons made me want to play the violin even more.
Kevin is a phenomenal instructor who have a remarkable attention to detail. My daughter feels comfortable around him and he encourages and motivates her while identifying and correcting her mistakes in a helpful and reassuring manner. Kevin is very patient person and I feel with his expertise, that he can get my daughter to play her violin at a level of her expectations while instilling the confidence she needs to be able to perform. K.E.
