Quick Resume: I believe in the unlimited potential of each student. As each student has a unique background and learning proclivity I enjoy the challenge of adapting fundamental aspects of playing to their own particular capacities. Below you will find feedback from musicians I have taught. Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to our work together! -Brian

"Brian, as a veteran teacher, I am qualified to say that you are a most excellent instructor. You have the ability to explain techniques dozens of different ways until even the most inept pupil can understand. Your knowledge of anatomy ("move your right shoulder forward an inch"), has shown me that there's a lot more to violin playing than just holding fingers in the right position. I am thrilled with the progress I've made with you and feel that I am on the road to acceptable old-lady proficiency."
-Linda Ferris, student
"We highly appreciated Mr. Brian Lindgren as our daughter's violin teacher. Mr. Lindgren is a solid professional and his classes were fun, punctual and engaging. He strenghened her skills and confidence tremendously. We do recommend Mr. Lindgren as a violin teacher!"
-Cacia C Pimentel, mother of Ana
"Brian Lindgren taught my two daughters violin in upstate, NY. He was always on time and very professional. My girls were always excited about their lessons. Brian's enthusiasm for the violin shone forth in his teaching and my girls caught that enthusiasm. I highly reccommend Brian as a violin teacher."
-Lori Bulkley, mother of Elizabeth and Ariana
"I would highly recommend Brian Lindgren as a violin teacher. I took lessons from Brian, as a beginning adult student. I enjoyed the time I spent learning the violin with Brian as a teacher. He was very patient, and cognizant of the fact that an adult learns music differently than a younger student. He is very good at teaching the violin, and made learning this difficult instrument a fun experience. He was more than willing to listen to, and answer, any question I had. He was always encouraging, and made playing the violin a lot of fun. Brian ended one lesson by reminding me to "Enjoy the journey". Who could ask for anything more in a teacher! If Brian Lindgren is your violin teacher, you will definitely "Enjoy the journey"."
