Experienced teacher and Royal Academy of Music graduate teaching violin in Marylebone and Central London

Lavinia helped me work towards my ARSM diploma and I achieved a distinction. I have had many teachers over the years, but I can say she is the best! She consistently motivated me to improve, while still instilling a love for and appreciation of the violin. I am always excited for her lessons and leave them feeling confident and more knowledgeable of the things I can work on. I can feel that she really cares for and understands her students, frequently going out of her way to help us.

Lavinia has been very helpful to me for learning the violin as an adult beginner/intermediate player.
I had 2 years of violin tuition before taking lessons with Lavinia and she helped improve and guide my technique in a number of areas in the year and a half's study I've had with her.
This has resulted in a real difference, especially in areas of intonation, shifting and vibrato, the later of which I'm particularly pleased with.

Lavinia brings an energy and infectious enthusiasm to each lesson which I greatly appreciate as I'm not the most confident player. She takes any problem I bring seriously and always has a suggestion or two to address the issue and demonstrate the solutions clearly.
I also appreciate her continual encouragement when I am unable to grasp or master techniques as speedily as I'd like.

I can recommend Lavinia as she is an excellent violin player and is able to pass on the lessons she has learnt effectively.

Her violin teaching is absolutely great! My child improve and learn such a lot under her fantastic teaching technique, skills and method. My child just got a distinction in the ABRSM exam!

One of the best violin teachers I had. I am taking lessons from Ana- Lavinia for the past 3 years and my playing has improved a lot since.
As a teacher, she is patient, kind, and encouraging. Has a way of explaining difficult concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and always makes sure that her students are motivated to improve. Always tailors her lessons to the individual needs and goals of each student.
Ana- Lavinia is also an incredibly talented musician. Her mastery of the violin is truly inspiring, and I always look forward to hearing her play.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and passionate violin teacher.

Lavinia was my daughter violin teacher, I can say she was a great teacher. She was paying attention to everything, for her wasn’t just to help my daughter to memorize a song, or let’s just play for fun. No, she was actually watching everything; hand position, posture, fingers placement, bow, sound. I’m so glad for Lavinia and other teacher that my daughter had after Lavinia moved to UK, they both helped my daughter to develop good violin techniques, we all know how hard it is to fix bad habits.

Lavinia proved again and again that she is capable of handling someone that hasn't played the violin in more than 25 years. I am confident that anyone going for that goal of learning to play an instrument, being violin or piano, can get a great help and a lot of knowledge from her. The fact that she plays at a highest level those instruments and still able to give you step by step, slow and paced learning advice, proves that she's more than capable of being the person you need to help you reach that goal of yours, whether be to learn a new instrument or improve on one you already have experience with.
I highly recommend her, just give it a go at trying one of her lessons, you'll see what i mean by saying she's the tutor you need to teach you violin or piano.
Thank you for helping me Lavinia, i am looking forward to be playing violin again like i used to do it 25 years ago.

Ana-Lavinia is a wonderful and inspiring teacher! We've known each other for over 10 years and I have seen her tutor students of all abilities with great success. She is deeply invested in helping her students get the most out of lessons and develop a lasting love of music. She knows when to push you to do your best, when to check in with you, and when to celebrate your achievements along the way. I highly recommend taking lessons with her – as a friendly, fun, and highly skilled teacher, she makes learning a new instrument or continuing to develop your skills a fantastic experience.

Lavinia is very talented and compassionate. She makes you understand what you are learning with this calming and gentle nature of hers. Lavinia is patient and a great teacher for all ages. My sister and I definitely saw an improvement in our playing as the practices went on. I would totally recommend Lavinia as your teacher she is one of a kind.

10/10 Definitely would recommend!

Lavinia has taught me violin for over five years and she has been an absolutely AMAZING violin tutor. Along with her exceptional capabilities and self-driven personality, she was super enthusiastic and passionate about helping me learn, along with inspiring me and really making me enjoy violin. It is very rare to come across someone who is so talented at being able to execute both the big picture ideas and the small details of a piece while also communicating this in such a straightforward manner for students to be able to understand and accomplish as well.
I highly recommend taking lessons with Lavinia if you have the opportunity to work with her!

Super talented violinist and a wonderful teacher! Anyone would be lucky to be taught by her.

10/10 would recommend to anyone hoping to improve your violin and/or music skills!
