I would like to explain why I am so enthusiastic about music and how it developed that I have been playing the violin professionally for over 20 years and teaching for 5 years. I was born in Russia and studied there. Russia is famous for its first class violin school and I was able to successfully complete the music school, college of art and conservatory in Novosibirsk. I also completed my studies there with very good grades. During my studies I won the highest prizes from several international competitions, for example: international competition in Krasnojarsk, Novosibirsk (Russia), international violin competition in Torino (Italy), as well as in Poland (Zakopane) and many others. After successfully completing my master's degree in violin, I not only work as a solo and orchestral musician, but I also enjoy teaching. I like to develop my personal pedagogical method based on the experience of the world principles of the art of violin playing. This arouses great interest in me and I would like to teach this to my current and future students! Best regards, Maria
