About

Former member of the New York Philharmonic second violin section. I've been teaching violin and viola privately in Greenwich Village for 15 years. I work with beginners through advanced conservatory-prep students.

Teaching Philosophy

String playing is a lifelong journey. I emphasize proper technique from day one to avoid bad habits, and I incorporate ensemble playing to develop musicianship beyond solo repertoire.

Marcus is patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. He helped my daughter prepare for her All-State audition and she made it!

Great violin teacher with real orchestral experience. He pushes students to improve while keeping things positive.
