[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any experience with Olga Yanovich? I've noticed that there are a few teachers that are frequently mentioned as the top teachers (Khroulevitch, Chudnovsky, etc.), and I haven't heard her name come up at all--but she says on her teaching site that she's had students go to Julliard, Eastman, Manhattan School of Music, etc., which suggests that she's producing some excellent violinists. And the excerpts of her own playing on her site are fantastic.[/quote]

Olga is quite intense as a teacher.  This is probably why some (not many) of her students end up at various conservatories.  She is well known in the local competition circle as she “encourages” her students to enter these things all year round. Depending on what yours and your child’s musical goal is, Olga may not be a good fit.

Definitely meet with prospective teachers for trial lessons.  Make sure their teaching goals are aligned with yours.  With music instrument, be prepared to put a ton of time and effort in if Juilliard is the final destination. [/quote]
