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.

Rebecca has been amazing! As an Adult beginner it's so difficult to find a teacher that really takes your goals seriously. Rebecca really works on fundamental techniques to lay the groundwork for increasingly difficult pieces. I love that she has worked with a respected professional to establish a curriculum instead of just randomly working through whatever books you have available. I highly recommend her.
