Are you a violin teacher who wants to play viola? Or are you an orchestra teacher who majored in a different instrument who’s thinking about gaining some string player skills?
Students of all ages welcome. Young beginners aged 10 and below need a parent present to assist in their learning; older children may also have a parent present to observe and make notes. Teachers with expertise on another instrument are also welcome. Lessons take place through video conference worldwide or in person in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Traditional classical studies are used including scales, etudes and pieces, as well as the repertoire of music created by female composers. Some of the methods used include the Fiddle Time series by Kathy and David Blackwell, Suzuki books and recordings, Essential Elements for Strings, Applebaum’s Beautiful Music for Two Violins and more. Bonny’s own violin teacher-grandfathers were David Oistrakh and Ivan Galamian, who taught her teachers Peter Kaman and Dana Pomerantz-Mazurkevitch. Bonny has had instruction from Eugene Fodor, Roman Totenberg, Clayton Hoener and Guo Guo Guang.

TESTIMONIALS
- Jessie
parent of a violin student
“I wanted to let you know that you seem to be the perfect fit for Katja. It’s amazing how patient you are with her and you’re so good at making her comfortable. I’m already seeing a difference in her confidence. She’s not as afraid of making mistakes. Thank you!”
- Tom
former student
“Dear Mrs. Bonny, I would like to thank you for teaching me violin this year. I learned a lot.”
- Travis
former student
“Amazing Bonny! Thank you so much! And I also want to take a moment to extend my serious gratitude for your time in teaching me these last few months. This means the world to me. I used to have to memorize where to put my fingers when it came to chords but now I am starting to have a real understanding for the guitar. I have a lot of work ahead of me when it comes to singing/playing, but you’ve given me a stronger grasp of how to play than I ever thought I would have, again, this means the world to me.”

I’ve had the extreme pleasure of working next to Bonny for the past five years. During this time, I have seen her open students’ worlds through music by being patient, precise, and remarkably positive. Teaching comes as naturally to her as playing music. She has an innate ability for inspiring and motivating her students to stretch their imaginations (and their fingers) into the rhythms and melody of music. They are lucky to have her, and I’ve been fortunate to have worked beside her.
