    Dimitri is terrific. My daughter has made great progress in the short time she’s been working with him. He is very kind and motivates her to practice and do well.

    As co-prinicpal trumpet and Associate Music Director of the Hanover Wind Symphony its my pleasure to have worked with Dimitry for over 15 years. Dimitry is an exceptionally gifted and highly respected clarinetist who brings years of global performance experience to his teaching. Polite, patient and well spoken it is a pleasure to listen to him speak about music, no matter what the subject or genre. His passion for his craft is evident from the very first time you meet him. I highly recommend Dimity as a performer and educator!

    I am a professional oboist with a great deal of experience. I have played in an orchestra with Dimitry for 5 years. I find his principal clarinet playing to be very fine. He is also a very good colleague. While my relation to him is not teacher-student, I judge from his warm personality that he makes an excellent teacher.

    My 12-yr old son started his weekly private lesson a year ago. Mr. Dimitry is very encouraging and inspired him to want to play really well.

    My son has been learning Saxophone from Mr. Dimitry for over a year. He enjoys playing Saxophone since the teacher not only gives him the techniques but also stimulates his motivation to love music. From his selective and custom music for my son, I can tell he is making good progresses and loves playing Saxophone more than before. We, as parents, appreciate his teaching.
