Daniel L. says, "Studying with Mr. Han-Gorski as a teacher is one of the most life changing events I have experienced. He is not guessing: His insights and skills are honed from decades of performing as a Soloist with orchestras, as well as holding Concert Master and Associate Concert Master positions in orchestras in the USA and Europe. Just a quick search of his name on youtube shows that he achieved the rare sound and skills of a soloist. I have learned so much about using my bow and being intentional through my lessons with Mr. Han-Gorski. He brings performance experience well beyond most, an impeccable lineage of teachers, as well as his own ingenuity. Studying with him is truly a privilege.
That doesn't mean it's easy. He is old school, does not sugar coat anything, and takes seriously that he carries the tradition of the old masters through direct transmission. If you listen you will gain an invaluable wealth of knowledge, even if you're like me (unimpressionable but hardheaded).
I came to Mr. Han-Gorski after playing 27 years with a mix of good instruction, bad instruction, and a mountain of self-taught bad habits from trying my best without music school after being badly injured in my late teens. We played a two octave G major scale for months and while this was difficult for my ego, it had OBVIOUS effects on my playing when I was out gigging, which my colleagues quickly noticed before I even moved on from that early stage of lessons! I now know I was learning intention and proper attention, I still am, and this is what they were hearing. Now I am playing Bach and Etudes and just this week starting to hear myself bringing out the melody notes at all tempos with a clarity I've never heard from myself before.
I was so frustrated in my career as an improviser because I was always tripping over my bowings and getting twisted up and he is giving me the tools to untangle my mess and teaching me the art of using a bow in a way that I am eternally grateful for. Thank you Mr. Han-Gorski. I cannot recommend him enough as a teacher if you are serious about taking your playing to the next level." Read more

Jackie is an extremely positive teacher who has helped me tremendously with fiddling techniques, ear training, auditions, and classical and chamber music pieces. I am an adult student trying to learn fiddle pieces by ear while also building a foundation with Suzuki and other classical technique books. I love the supportive learning environment Jackie creates and the way she customizes our lessons to help me achieve my goals.

If you are serious about improving as a violinist/musician, I can't think of anyone more qualified than Mr. Han-Gorski. He is a man of great wisdom and life experience with a resume few could match, who studied closely with Jascha Heifetz, toured the world as a soloist, and also led many world-class symphonies as concertmaster. He understands music and the violin in a way few do being directly linked to the 19th century violin giants: Wieniawski, Vieuxtemps, and Joachim. He will challenge you to play your very best and then demand even more from you. You will find yourself significantly raising your standards in practicing, listening more closely to your own playing, learning how to analyze and interpret music, and develop a solid technique in service of the music. The teacher you choose to study with will have a tremendous impact on your practicing, performing, musicianship, and life. I once had a teacher who attended Curtis and Juilliard, and I've learned more about music and playing the violin in a few lessons with Mr. Han-Gorski than studying for a year with this other teacher. Mr. Han-Gorski will not only help you to improve as a violinist, but he will show you how to think and understand music so you can take what you learn and apply it. No matter if you are a beginner or professional, he will show you the way to mastery and true musicianship.
