I am passionate about pedagogy, methodology, and finding the right approach for the right student. With over 20 years of teaching experience across a variety of formats (private lessons, group classes, chamber music coaching, orchestra sectionals, etc.), and having taught in over 25 countries to a wide range of cultures, I love the puzzle of finding the right approach for each and every student I work with. It's vitally important to me to find the right explanation, technique, or exercise to help set my students up for success--not only to give them the right tools for their approach, but to also help them feel empowered to grow as a musician.

Hi there, I am Sendi, professional violinist based in the U.S. I am offering violin lessons for beginners and professionals. I have 6+ years of experience as a teacher. I am highly skilled violinist who has performing experience as a soloist, chamber, and orchestra player. I have been working as a concertmaster and a leader of different orchestras under a baton of great conductors such as Gianandrea Noseda, Jukka-Pekka Sarasate, Claudio Vandelli, Lahav Shani, and many more. I have an experience in orchestra auditions and I can help you to learn any orchestra excerpts. I love ensemble playing and solo performances and I have great experience in both. I have performed as a soloist in Carnegie Hall (New York), Opera America (New York), Baruch Performing Art Center (New York), Kimmel Center for Performing Arts (Philadelphia), Rock Hall (Philadelphia), National Opera and Ballet Theater (Georgia) and many more.

Beginner violin lessons for children in Philadelphia — online or in-person. I've played violin since I was five, and as an early childhood educator I keep lessons supportive, encouraging, and fun. No previous experience needed — we start at your child's pace, building confidence and foundational skills one small step at a time. 45-minute lessons. Message me to chat about whether lessons would be a good fit for your child.

I have five years of violin training, along with experience teaching both private lessons and at a private institution. I also served for four years as a second violinist in a youth symphony orchestra. What motivates me to teach is watching my students progress from struggling with bow technique, one of the hardest parts of this relatively difficult instrument, to playing concertos. Lessons for all levels and age groups follow the Ömer Can Violin Education method. Alongside etudes, we will also work on scales, concertos suited to the student’s level, and popular pieces, and repertoire can be chosen according to the student’s wishes. Beyond playing the instrument, we will learn the fundamentals of music through understanding rather than memorization, which lays the groundwork for learning another instrument and for understanding music more deeply.
