Violin Teacher Dave Curro

Since taking up the violin as an adult beginner earlier this year I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Dave and truly looked forward to them as a highlight of my week.

Dave is an excellent violinist with a natural flair for teaching both music and the art of violin playing. Not to mention he is super friendly, always kind and patient with a good sense of humour.
Violin lessons with Dave are always fun, interesting and informative.
I’ve learned a lot in a short amount of time!

Dave started teaching my 8 year old daughter after we moved to Melbourne from Washington DC. She had been learning Suzuki method in the USA for the past three years with two different teachers and since classes with Dave she has a new passion for the instrument (which she chose!). She is now studying for AMEB and understands and reads music which she couldn't previously. I have sat in on lessons and was so pleased to see him explain music, rhythm and terms in a way that was easy for her and adds to her general music literacy.

Dave helped us acquire my daughter's first ever violin here in Australia (as we previously had rented in the US) - a big step for her.

We are delighted with Dave's lessons and my daughter looks forward to them each week. Skills and technique neither of her previous teachers had imparted such as playing to recordings have really helped contextualise her learning, not to mention making keeping time easier.

I couldn't recommend Dave more highly, he has made our move to Melbourne better in so many ways.

Dave has been an excellent teacher for our daughter, Eloise. He has excellent technical skills, and has taught our daughter from when she started at the lower exam grades and has progressed her to the much higher exam grades in ABRSM. He possesses the rare qualities of being patient, kind, and caring, but is also a funny big brother figure who has made learning violin an easy and relaxed process. Even when he is providing feedback, it has always been in a way that has never caused our daughter any distress, which we struggled to find in a violin teacher before Dave. We could not recommend him more highly.
