Meet the Instructor

What do you teach?

Violin. I teach the fundamentals of technique and instructions for a weekly practice schedule including practical practices such as scales and selected pieces students are working on.

What makes you want to share your skills and knowledge?

I have a strong passion for playing music and playing the violin and I want to share that with others, as this has opened many exciting doors for me in my life.

What is your experience in your craft and how are you evolving?

I have played the violin for 14 years. I am classically trained, but have experience playing many genres from Middle Eastern music to hip hop. I evolve by improving and sharing my music with more and more people. A few days ago I got to perform with an artist on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show which was a new milestone for me.

What's your style of teaching?

I am a calm and positive teacher. I make sure to motivate students by setting challenges for them that are exciting and achievable within their skill level. I prioritize listening to students' musical interests when assigning a new piece for them to learn.

What keeps you creatively inspired?

Listening to music.

Testimonials

Soma was my violin teacher for a long period of time and I took her violin lessons in LA long distance via zoom, but also face to face in Sweden. I’ve had other teachers before, and I can say with zero hesitation that she was the best one. I liked that she was easy to talk to, and how she helped me through my difficulties.

Communication and adaptation are so important when someone is teaching you a skill, and Soma really has those things down. She’s so sweet and friendly! I really enjoyed our violin lessons together. They were never stressful because she always found the right words to encourage me. I even consider her a friend now, and we send each other holiday postcards. I have zero complaints! I have loved my violin lessons. Thanks to her I’ve even performed live at my local theatre a few times! Thank you so much Soma, you're the best violin teacher!
