“Richard brings a combination of skill, dedication, and heart to his role as a violin teacher. From the very first sessions with my son in middle school, he brought a clear sense of purpose, setting thoughtful goals and a vision for growth that truly inspired my child. His teaching style is the perfect blend of kindness, constructive guidance, and professionalism. Richard is conscientious and deeply committed—not just to teaching technique, but to building positive habits that will serve his students both musically and personally. As a student at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, his passion for music education is evident in every lesson. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as a teacher and mentor.”
