“In fact, my teaching style is a unique combination of two major violin schools: the Russian and German ones. I was initially trained on the Russian violin technique which enabled me to develop both strong musical expression intensity and technical fluency. Whereas the German violin school, equipped me later on with more rigorous performance and technique discipline. I bring to my students, in a creative and easy fun way, the best of both schools combined with my own touch to unleash their talent. Sofija Zlatanova-Principal”.
