I have known Karin for decades and she is an extremely experienced and well qualified violin teacher across many areas of violin pedagogy. Her teaching skills include a great start for beginners, exam preparation and powerful creative aspects expressed over various genres of violin repertoire. But above all, to match her considerable musical powers, she has compassion, imagination and empathy as a teacher. Highly recommended!
