Stan is an exceptional and passionate teacher--a true master of his craft. As an adult student, I…read morecame to him at my own skill level, and for several years now he has helped me steadily grow and improve. I'm thrilled with my progress as a violinist and can't imagine studying with anyone else at this point. One of Stan's greatest gifts as a teacher is the way he demonstrates music. When he plays, he expresses it so vividly that I can see, feel, and hear exactly what he means. Those moments stay with me, and I'm able to draw on them during my practice, which makes his lessons especially impactful. His teaching will stay with me for the rest of my life. I also want to mention Dina, who helps organize the schedule at Newton Violin Studio. She is wonderful--always responsive and helpful when changes come up. I'm grateful for her support in keeping everything running smoothly. I can't recommend Stan and the Newton Violin Studio highly enough.

Except of course they were fresh out of the book I was looking for (an empty slot on the rack) but I can't hold that against them.

In addition to private one on one teaching they offer ensemble classes as well. The studio is clean, modern and has a great decor. The whole aura/vibe is laid-back and casual. I really like that Greg the owner stays involved with the teaching and clearly has a passion for what he does. They are very flexible about scheduling and the prices are terrific. I've personally attended other schools and had other teachers, but none delved into theory and the history of whatever music it was you were learning. In addition they offer video recordings of your lesson, meaning you can revisit everything you just learned by popping it into your computer. Greg the owner is an apple lover, but the dvd's work in your pc as well! So if you are looking for lessons I suggest going no place but here.... Keep on rocking! Oh and you're welcome!!!!

I had an open seam and needed a bridge, tailpiece, and general projection adjustment for the summer. The seam was not glued adequately and came undone within months. Both bridge and nut were over-filed and my resonance was just wrong. A twangy A and a wooly C, okay in the middle strings but just not overall sounding like my cello. He said he didn't like my cello. This was incredibly odd to me. I have a great instrument that I'm deeply attached to, albeit it's not one of his $100K+ instruments. I think he wanted to upsell me. The vibe was like he wanted me to trade in a used car. Despite by gut, I gave this place a second chance. My sound post was OFF this time. I took my sweet cello to another luthier who confirmed that he'd done rough work. A lot of small things, fixable, but work that almost seemed pointed to make my sweet, warm, rich cello sound dull and twangy. He charged $500 each time. Another luthier charged $150 to fix all of his poor work and then some. If you love your instrument, try somewhere else.
