Working with Adelya is fun, and she emphasizes working with the students at their own pace, which I appreciate the most. She creates an environment where learning doesn’t feel like a chore, and makes me excited to play because it isn’t stressful but interesting.

Dr. Adelya is very warm, and she makes the lesson fun. She teaches in a way that my 8 year old can understand and makes it fun for her.

Adelya came highly recommended and has proved to be an exceptional teacher. My wife and I are both professional musicians, and when looking for a violin teacher for our little one we wanted to be sure to find a teacher who is dedicated, patient, and inventive, and Adelya is this and more. It’s very easy for kids to become discouraged when learning something new, particularly something quite difficult, such as violin, but Adelya’s approach is astonishing. In watching her interact in our lessons, it was clear early on that she really knows how to stay connected with her students, both in the moment and beyond, and is gifted in finding angles that perpetuate the learning process. We are very happy with our experience and look forward to what the future holds with our young musician and Adelya’s guidance.

I highly recommend Adelya if you need a great musician for learning the violin. She is the best, and we are always so pleased that she teaches our daughter, Helena. I have been very impressed with her teaching methods. She is very flexible, patient, and professional. Helena started her music classes with Adelya when she was only five years old. She loves Adelya, and she has learned a lot of things in her class.

Dr. Shagidullina is an outstanding violinist, a phenomenal professor, and an amazing person! She explains concepts in-depth and goes above and beyond to make sure the student understands the theoretical and technical components of violin playing. More than anything else, she cares about the student as a whole and not just as a violinist. I would recommend Dr. Shagidullina in a heartbeat to any violinists wanting to grow their skills and knowledge.
