“… the perfect person to
help you prepare for your solo appearance is Victoria Voronyansky. She is
a very experienced performer and one of the best viola teachers anyone
could have; her teaching experience, besides conservatory level students
and pre-college age, includes working with adult violists as well”
Heidi Castleman, Viola Professor, the Juilliard School
Having taught at the Juilliard School, Mannes College of Music, and the
Perlman Music Program, Victoria Voronyansky’s teaching style has made her
a sought after educator in the United States and abroad. Students she
worked with have gone on to major conservatories, top orchestras in the
United States, Europe, South America and Asia, and have themselves become
teachers and mentors. For an opportunity to work with Ms. Voronyansky
please take a look at the programs offered below.

Lessons
Students who are a part of Ms. Voronyansky’s studio meet with her on a
weekly basis. In addition to lessons, students can also participate in
pre-audition Studio Classes, Chamber Music, and Studio Concerts. During
lessons primary emphasis is placed on solo and ensemble repertoire,
technical studies and orchestral music, with additional work on music
theory and ear training. Students have the option of adding composition,
folk violin (American, Irish, Klezmer) and improvisation to their main
course of instruction. Prior to beginning their lessons, students need to
complete technical assessment and personal consultation. For more
information please
contact me.
Distance Learning Programs
The Distance Learning Program presents an opportunity for students around
United States and abroad to work with Ms. Voronyansky despite geographic
limitations. Each student enrolled in the program receives an individually
crafted curriculum, videos, written materials, and weekly video
conferencing sessions. This is an excellent resource for conservatory
level students, professionals who are preparing for an audition or
competition, those who are recovering from injury, and students who would
like to revise their playing technique. Students can enroll in the program
throughout the year, but prior to enrollment will need to submit a video
sample of their playing and have a consultation. For more details please
contact me.
