I was afraid to start learning to play the violin as an adult, to realize my childhood dream. However, classes with Yuri changed everything. Considering my capabilities, he developed my basic skills of holding the bow and finding sound, developed my hearing, sense of rhythm - things that I had never thought about. He suggested not only how to practice with the instrument during the lesson, but also how to develop the hand every day with simple exercises. The four-month basic course with Yuri gave me the skills I needed to realize my childhood dream.
