"Lenore is an extraordinarily gifted artist and a wonderful human being...In my opinion, any student would be most fortunate to study with her in private lessons, classes or lectures."
Dr. Fredrick Zlotkin - Solo Cellist New York City Ballet & Faculty Manhattan School of Music
"Lenore is an extraordinary musician of the highest quality and has all the attributes of a fine teacher. She is equally comfortable playing and teaching the violin and viola, is extremely competent, knowledgeable and through and has an infectious enthusiasm which inspires her students. I highly recommend her as both a performer and teacher at any level."
Mary Helton - Director Hoff-Barthelson Music School Scarsdale, NY
"Lenore is one of the finest talents I have had the pleasure of working with. She is the single person with whom I have worked in recent years who possesses a comprehensive knowledge of the art of violin playing."
Emanuel Vardi - World Renowned Viola Virtuoso and Pedagogue
From Students
"Lenore Vardi is an excellent violin teacher and a wonderful world-renowned violinist. After busy years of raising a family, and after hearing Lenore play several, incredible violin concerts, I contacted her and requested voilin lesson.
I learned more from Lenore in two years of lessons than I did in six years of lessons in my earlier life.
It is clear that Lenore loves to teach students who are enthused to learn and dedicated to practice. When introducing new violin techniques she is very patient, kind, and encouraging. I highly recommend Lenore as a violin teacher."
Jean Esteb - Walla Walla, WA
"Lenore Vardi focused on aspects of my playing, helping me to use my short arms to the best advantage. She gave me excellent practice routines to improve my ear as well as hand and arm posture in all positions. She has had excellent training herself and generously shares her knowledge. I look forward to having sessions with her whenever she re-visits my home town.
Thank you Lenore for your enthusiastic support!"
Ida Wingrove - Port Townsend, WA
"As an adult with myriad unrelated responsibilities, it can be difficult to pursue as complex a skill as playing a string instrument - and I consider myself immensely fortunate to have found Lenore as a teacher. She empowers me to learn and grow without fear of developing bad habits, and gives me everything I need to work through issues on my own at home.
I don't think I'd enjoy playing half as much if not for Lenore's experience, instruction, and friendship."
Eric Stinel - Cedar Falls, IA
"Lessons with Lenore have really improved my daughter's technique and brought her playing to a new level.
Since she has been studying with Lenore, she has won solo parts in her orchestra and been invited to play in a string quartet."
Erin Sliwinski - Cedar Falls, IA
"Ms. Vardi is a consummate professional. She has superb technique and a great affinity for teaching. If you are interested in moving your playing to the next level, she is the next teacher for you."
