For nine years, Ariel Patkin has been more than just a violin teacher; she’s been a mentor and a friend. Her kindness and unwavering encouragement have shaped me into the musician I am today. Ms. Patkin’s teaching style is exceptional, pushing me to constantly improve while fostering a supportive learning environment. She celebrates my successes and provides constructive criticism, motivating me to practice diligently. Beyond the violin, she’s helped me develop valuable life skills like perseverance and self-confidence. Our strong bond highlights the positive impact she’s had on my life, both musically and personally. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and inspiration. I couldn’t imagine my life without her influence.

We had the pleasure of having Ariel as our daughter's violin teacher from 1st grade - 3rd grade, both in-person and remotely, and she was fantastic! Ariel provided a great musical foundation and exuded her love of violin in each lesson & recital. We appreciate Ariel's extensive knowledge, discipline, and kindness, and were so pleased with our daughter's growth as a musician. I would highly recommend Ariel as a violin instructor for your child!
