About

I can rapidly fix and improve a students playing on violin and or viola. I use these instruments to help them build confidence that helps them transfer these skills into other life areas.

I love watching a student grow and mature and it gives me great pleasure to be a part of that process. I also use my intuition to help anyone grow as a musician.

I have a Bachelors of Music from the University of Miami, a Masters of Music from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a Masters in Music Education from Lehman College. I have also studied at the Suzuki Institute in New York.

I have taught for 20 years in a public school in New York.

I also play, record, and compose alternative styles of music and have released 4 albums under my name. My latest is called Whistle on the Fly Récords music label. I have a YouTube channel called Sonyasviolin.

    My daughter (second grader) learns violin from Ms. Robinson. My kid loves the classes and looks forward for the class every week. Ms.Robinson is very patient and makes sure that the basics are mastered before rushing to next level. She makes learning fun and is very passionate about teaching and learning. I believe that is reflected in her approach. I have never seen her looking at the clock. Thank you for all the hard work.

    Mrs. Robinson’s lessons are challenging and fun. She recognized my childs strengths in music and helps her to work on her weaknesses. She is an excellent teacher!

    Ms. Robinson has been a great asset in helping my son learn the important aspects of becoming a competent violinist. She provides valuable lessons in reading music, appropriate positioning, etc, while also giving encouragement along the way. Additionally, the coaching she provides helps to establish an understanding of oneself and how to manage thru anxiety and stage fright along with skills to get back on track when mistakes occur. Our experience has been very positive on many levels.
