About Jana

Hi! I am a professional violinist and violist, currently based in the Orlando area, and I have been playing violin and viola for 24 years! I hold three higher education degrees in violin performance from McGill University and Indiana University, and have won auditions with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, and the Orlando Philharmonic orchestra. I currently also perform with the Charleston Symphony, the Jacksonville Symphony, the Brevard Symphony, and the Coastal Symphony of Georgia. I have performed solo recitals at various institutions all over the world including in Austria, Germany, Rhode Island, New York, Washington State, South Carolina, Florida, and Canada, and have been a member of various string quartets including the violist at the Silver Bay string quartet in Silver Bay, New York, and the violist in the Saratoga workshop string quartet on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Alongside performing, I have been teaching for the past 12 years both privately and at institutions such as the West Island Music Academy in Montreal CA, the Vivace Chamber Players in Seattle WA, and Trala inc. Online Violin School! I have taught over 130 students ages 3-80 and have coached multiple teen chamber music groups. My students have gone on to win excellence awards in their regional solo and ensemble competitions, win first chairs in school orchestra, and many students who began lessons with me are able to join local youth orchestras in as few as four months!

My teaching style is all about making the experience with the violin a fun and productive time! I believe anyone can learn the violin or viola, and that it isn’t talent that grows this skill, but a good routine and attitude. Lessons offer a fantastic extra curricular for kids and teens, and adults a chance to grow (or re-grow) a skill that will add life and color to their week, along with keep their brains healthy!

A lesson will usually go as follows: After a few catch-up minutes, such as talking about our days, we jump into playing through assigned scales or repertoire and I correct mistakes quickly and efficiently, spending time addressing any technical question the student may have from previous practice. In lessons we occasionally do deep dives into concepts such as how to read music notes, or how distribution. We also go over broad musical ideas such as why a piece was written and its history. Students will usually learn one to three pieces per semester and perform selections at recitals, requiring them to play at a high level in front of their peers, encouraging dialogue between students!

In lessons students learn from Suzuki Books 1-3, Sitt Studies, Kreutzer Etudes, Schradiek exercises, Jazz standards, the Fiddlers Fake Book, Rieding and Seitz Violin Concertos, Hymnal books, pop songs and more!  Younger students must learn through a standard approach such as the Suzuki method which offers them the opportunity to grow as violinists at a high level by building a strong foundation. Adult students are given more freedom to choose what they like to learn, within parameters according to their technical level.

Recitals are held three times a year, in May, August, and December and are conducted online through Zoom. Students enjoy playing for each other and get multiple chances to comment positively on their peers. Recital attendance is required unless emergencies arise, and if a student cannot attend, they are required to send in a video of their final piece which will be played for the studio and commented!

Please note that students under the age of 11 must take in-person lessons.
