She was so patient while teaching my daughter how to play the violin, even when my daughter was having a hard time. Evija is so knowledgeable, her classical training really shows. She taught my daughter to play such fun songs, like the songs she hears on the radio and loves. We had the best time learning from Evija and would highly recommend!" - Chloe's (14) mom"Evija! I can't thank you enough for these last two years. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have continued and gotten this far. Thank you for being such a great teacher!" - George (34)"You are the best, most personable teacher ever and I will miss having you as my teacher!" - Yvonne (31)"We were happy with our (previous) teacher until we switched to Evija as recommended by a friend. I had no idea there was that much more into playing violin. The progress my daughter made in a few month was remarkable. Her passion for music has inspired my daughter to continue her violin journey and she's now playing in regional orchestra. We're so happy to hear she made an online course as we always joked she should open her own "EVIJA school"" - Grace's (15) mom
