As a violinist and teacher, Raluca blends  performance and music theory to help students build a deeper understanding of music. She adapts her  approach to each student’s personality and emphasizes healthy technique to prevent tension and pain. I also focus on developing students’ attention and awareness, as I believe efficient practice is rooted in “brain learning.” As a mother of two, she  prioritizes cultivating an atmosphere of emotional security and mutual trust, as I believe meaningful learning can only happen when students feel genuinely supported. She remains open to new methods and views teaching as a lifelong learning process. Her lessons welcome students of all ages and skill levels, with the goal of nurturing sensitivity to classical music and guiding them toward becoming expressive performers and well-rounded individuals.
