Adrian Pereira

Violin/Viola/Cello Instructor

My name is Adrian Pereira and I am a violinist musician! I was born in Toronto, and grew up in North Etobicoke. I started music at age of ten with guitar and started violin at age 13 and never looked back. During my time in high-school I played at many festivals with the Father John Redmond string ensemble, including Ontario Strings Association and Kiwanis Music Festival Toronto. I currently attend York University were I am furthering my music education with Mark Skazinetsky, and jazz music with Matt Brubeck and play in their Symphony orchestra. I love to perform and teach what I love.

In my lessons our main focus will be violin performances. This includes violin techniques, learning how to read music, and ear training. For beginners the main focus is technique and getting a good sound out. With daily practice and determination you will learn to love your instrument and have a new appreciation for music that you will keep for ever.
