I have a long list of credits with 3 Grammy nominations and one Grammy award, but the most important distinction between me and other teachers is that I get fast results. I've always loved helping others and I've taught saxophone, clarinet and flute for over 35 years. If you want to learn to play and be able to not only play songs but to jam on them then I have the method for you. Just check out some of these videos and you'll see how fast you can learn with me. You won't see another teacher anywhere on the web showing their students after just a few lessons. Check these out and give me a call. This first video is of 3 of my students wh

Ivan Dantas - Violinist And Composer

--- At this moment I'm not taking new students in Los Angeles, I'm only accepting Skype students due to a job position in Brazil that forces me to travel often. Music theory and violin lessons work great on skype and it cost less, since the teacher does not have to travel to your house.---
--They are not good only for someone who is completely new to the violin, since in the very beginning it is fundamental to be able to correct posture. If that's your case I can recomend a good violin teacher in the Los Angeles area. ---

In my private violin/viola studio, I am helping my students to love the learning process. If a student wants to play an instrument for their enjoyment, he comes to me. If students have ambitions to get prepared for the test or audition, they know they will get help. For students who would like to prepare for the evaluating test, I contribute to preparing for the ABRSM (Associated Board of School of Music abrsm.org) exams. If a student is a beginner, I teach using the Suzuki Method.

Violin Lessons
1 Review
My teaching method is unique and different from other teachers because I teach students how to play the violin pain free and in a manner that is organic and body balanced. I spent time living in England to learn this approach quite specifically. This approach is not taught in America.
As a concert violinist and by the age of 22 I had a lot of pain related to violin. This is common. I was told that "Pain is just how it is".
I was unwilling to accept that answer, because it meant not playing the violin past the age of 40 if I were to continue in that much pain.
At this point, I was performing with the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra and my back was
