I have contacted this institute a few weeks ago through submitting the form online. I got reached…read moreout by David and we had a conversation regarding adult violin lessons. He asked the type of work I do and I felt weird why it was necessary as it has nothing to do with learning violin. He then shared how much it would cost for the lessons and I told him I'll think about it and reach out if I decide to move forward (which he agreed on and offered 10-20 mins trial lesson). After few days I emailed him and expressed my interest, but I did not get a response. And then from that moment I tried phone call he gave me, the institute phone number and still got no response. I do not mind if he responds and not taking me as student, but just leaving someone hanging there for weeks is definitely not professional as a business.

I stumbled on this page while searching for something else and had to stop by to leave a note…read more I studied violin with David roughly from 2005 to 2009. Up to that point I had been knocking around community orchestras and had, I thought, a fairly good practice routine based on Galaxian's method, but was frustrated by my lack of progress. Working with David was a completely different story. His dedication to studying the technique of past masters, in particular Nathan Milstein, through existing video recordings was a revelation. I left his studio much more satisfied with my playing than when I entered. I have unfortunately had to stop due to nerve damage (which I earned elsewhere) but cannot say enough good about David. I brought in a friend to accompany me on a Brahms Sonata (the easy one) and he was able to help her to understand and interpret the work.

I strongly recommend A Plus for anyone wishing to start their musical journey or rediscover their previous music skills.

Midori has always been very patient and encouraging with my 4 year old son, even on days he is tired and less motivated!

She has a unique way of explaining concepts and teaching that I haven't experienced with any of my past teachers, and because of this I've been able to make improvements and progress more quickly. She always comes to class with a very positive attitude and truly cares about her students. You can tell that she's really passionate because there have been occasions where we've both lost track of time. :) Another thing that was helpful was that as a busy professional, I sometimes needed to reschedule. Unlike voice "schools" that don't allow you to make changes, Sarah is flexible. Thanks for all you've taught me, Sarah!

Thank you to the Tutor Doctor for helping me, a self-described math cripple to understand algebra!…read moreI sought out professional help in my math class because the help I was getting from so-called math whiz friends just wasn't helping me learn. Working with the teacher from the Tutor Doctor made all the difference. In just a few weeks of two session per week, I have gone from feeling hopeless and utterly confused to a level of understanding in my course work I feared I would never reach. I will be taking upper Algebra and Chemistry next semester and will be counting on the Tutor Doctor to help me achieve the same results in those classes. Sincerely, Sandra

When I found the Tutor Dr I was very pleased when they came to my house for a free consultation.It was so very helpful to me and my family. My son is having a hard time with school and my husband and I were told he had a learning disability. Turns out he just needed to focus more and deal with his lazy eye. Now that we know that the tutor they found for him was perfect. My son loves his tutor and works very well with him. My son does'nt just like everyone so that says a lot. He has improved in reading and understanding what he is readin., He has also slowed down to focus more as well as not ashamed to wear his eye patch in front of his tutor. I cannot thank you guys enough. I look forward in him improving more so he feels better at school and with completing his homework.

Midori was super easy to work with from start to finish. We found them through our wedding planner,…read moreand the whole process was very straightforward. They send over a sheet with their music selections, you fill out what you want, and send it back about a month before the wedding. One thing I'll say is that the music sounded even better in person than in the samples. So many of our guests commented on how cool it was and how much it added to the atmosphere. For our 2-hour City Hall wedding, it was honestly perfect. It really fills up the space and makes everything feel a lot more grand and special without feeling over the top. Based on their samples and advice from some of our musician friends, we decided to go with the trio for a fuller sound, and I'm really glad we did. Highly recommend going that route if it fits your budget.

Their performance added so much elegance, emotion, and romance to our ceremony. The sound filled the rotunda beautifully and created the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. So many of our guests came up to us afterward raving about how amazing they were and how much the music elevated the entire experience. If you're getting married at SF City Hall or hosting any special event and want live music that makes a lasting impression, Corelli Strings is the way to go. They truly enhanced one of the most important moments of our lives and we couldn't recommend them more highly!
