Concert violist with 10+ years of experience teaches Violin, Viola, and Music Theory in both English and Spanish.

I have always played viola in the church orchestra, but we never had instrument teachers. Only one violin teacher who was in charge of the entire orchestra and I really wanted to progress faster. My sister told me about Angel's Viola Studio and I enrolled with him to try to get ready to be accepted at one of the biggest conservatories in Venezuela: The Vicente Emilio Sojo Conservatory. He helped me build a solid technique, showed me how to use it to express myself through the viola, and I got accepted at the conservatory!

Professor Contreras was recommended to me by my violin teacher. I was struggling so much with my Music Theory courses (Harmony and Counterpoint) and he found the blank spots in my knowledge and helped me to understand and have a much clearer picture of the topics being discussed in my classes. I even ended up passing the final Counterpoint exam with the top grade 20/20!
