Testimonials


“Elijah doesn’t just teach you how to hit notes, he teaches you how to bring music to life. He helped me fix fundamental bow hand tension, master tricky shifting, and audition successfully into my school’s Chamber Orchestra and a local youth orchestra. He’s positive, encouraging, super flexible, and genuinely cares about taking your playing to the next level. If you've hit a plateau or want to smash your next audition, I can’t recommend Elijah enough!”

-Sanskar G. (student 2024-2025)


I have been receiving lessons from Elijah for over two years. Over this time his true love for music and teaching has never wavered. His constant positive attitude is contagious and you can feel his passion for the art through his playing. Elijah is a gifted musician who has put in the time to master his craft. I can confidently say his teaching has helped me through auditions, performances, and better overall string playing.

“Our son has been taking viola lessons with Elijah for three years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Elijah has been so patient, dedicated, and encouraging throughout the years.

We’ve seen not only how much our son has grown as a musician, but also the positive impact Elijah has had on his confidence and enjoyment of playing the viola. He truly cares about his students and puts a lot of time and effort into helping them improve.

We’re very grateful for Elijah’s dedication and the positive influence he has had on our son. We highly recommend Elijah to anyone looking for a wonderful and patient viola teacher!”
