Our Philosophy
Violinists are both athletes and artists! We believe that approaching the violin first as sport and then as art will make a huge difference in the way we learn the violin.
Strength
Learn the most proper and correct technique In order to create the best sound and to improve rapidly
Balance
Being confident involves many factors which play major roles in the performance. Learn how to be really confident when you perform
Focus
With unique methods and skills of teaching, students will be guaranteed to improve 3 times faster than other violin students
Art
A violinist is an actor who has to tell a story without using their voices. Students will be taught how to narrate stories through their instrument
While we work on strengthening the body and posture of the student, we integrate exercises to improve balance. Once balance is in the picture and student learns to be more grounded, we help them to improve their focus through our creative “focus improvement” techniques.

Our daughter Ginevra has been learning to play the violin with Nirvana for over 3 years since she was 5, and the experience is great! The violin is not an easy instrument to learn, but Nirvana makes it fun to learn, and teaches it always with a smile. Her teaching is very well balanced since it includes a “technical” part (scales, arpeggios, posture, etc.) and a “fun” part (the pieces from the Suzuki method, which is excellent for kids). Thanks to Nirvana, Ginevra loves playing the violin and passed her Level 2 exam at the RCM. We highly recommend Nirvana and her Academy to anyone wishing to learn the violin in a pleasant and effective manner.
