About

How does your business stand out?

I started playing violin at the age of five, received a full tuition scholarship on violin to the University of Miami, and now have over 20 years experience teaching strings full time in the public schools of Passaic County. I also perform with 3 orchestras in the tri-state area, and presently teach 18 students privately ranging in age from 6-60 yrs old. All students come to my home studio for lessons once a week. Beginners receive 30 minutes, intermediates 45, and advanced, an hour. I'm very flexible and varied in the styles of music I know and teach-- I've taught classical, jazz improv, fiddle, pop and rock. The first introductory lesson is always free of charge with no obligation onwards. I have plenty of references available, and would love to start up lessons with you as soon as possible!

Ive worked with Mr Leshowitz since middle school. Even though Im now at college I can truly say that he has had a huge impact on my musical growth. Through him I was able to successfully audition and thrive in the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO). Hes very meticulous in his students technique, articulation, tempo, and truly cares for their success. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a teacher that will stay with the student for many years and is willing to put in the hours at home to reap the benefits of a high quality performer.

Learning a new instrument can be challenging especially for younger kids. Jason is a phenomenal teacher. He is patient and kind with kids and pushes them just enough so they keep improving. He always has time to answer questions from the kids and parents. Our son has grown to really love the violin and looks forward to his lessons every week.

I have been taking violin lessons for nine years and have had a very positive experience. Mr. Leshowitz is a kind and patient teacher. His patience has helped me learn difficult pieces and techniques. By expanding my knowledge and building a foundation of techniques, I have become concertmaster of my high school orchestra. I could not have done this without him and I would recommend him as a teacher for anyone who wants to learn violin or viola.
