"I am very grateful for David’s patience and commitment! I decided to follow my dream to play the violin at the age of 40! David was able to help me start from the basic techniques to play various songs after only a few months. He has given me the confidence that age does not matter; with motivation you can achieve your goals. David is very flexible and committed to his student’s success. He has great knowledge of various instruments and the ability to help the novice as well as the advance students I am thankful for his weekly help and encouragement. Thanks David!"
"The hours learning to play violin with Dave seem too short! He has an excellent ear which will masterfully educate you no matter which instrument you play. I started to play violin 9 years ago as a 9-year old and never looked back. Dave is my patient teacher and mentor, knowledgeable and understanding, who has made me more passionate about violin than anything else..." (continue...)

"I started learning piano in my 30 and though it was my dream, at beginning it looked scary and frustrating. I started this path by different teacher but very soon I got recommendation from a friend to start with David and so far I had a great experience with him. He is a great musician who has vast knowledge of both music and teaching skills and implements different paths and techniques to make sure I meet my expectations. As a teacher he understands the difficulties of practicing music ..." (continue...)
"I couldn't recommend David more as a music teacher. I'm taking guitar and piano with him, and I am very happy to have a teacher who loves music of all kinds, understands the theory behind what he teaches, and is patient and easy to get along with.
It's clear that he has had a very good education, and possesses the ability to share what he has learned with his students. You'll see what I mean!"
”I have started with David a year and a half ago as a beginner adult violin student. David's broad musical education in practice and theory helped me to overcome beginners struggles from how correctly hold the violin and the bow to how to produce a good sound and read and understand the music. He is very kind, patient and passionate to transfer his love for music to his students and very respectful for us adults who are trying to learn such a challenging instrument..." (continue...)
"I always had a desire to learn to play the piano and to study music. But as it turned out though I only started to study piano much later in life. It is really never too late to learn! A couple of years ago a friend introduced me to my teacher David Avanesov and so I decided to take weekly lessons with him. I am so pleased with that decision and I continue to make steady progress. David is a very talented teacher and accomplished musician! I am amazed of his broad knowledge of music across so many styles. He is ..." (continue...)
"It has been an honour and a pleasure to be present in every guitar class that David Avanesov has given to my daughter at St. Laurent community center. I can say with confidence that I highly recommend him as a music teacher and a mentor to whoever is interested in learning music.
David has shown an understanding of life’s matters and was flexible to accommodate my daughter’s lack of practice and made it his responsibility to make sure that she does not miss his classes and gave her..." (continue...)

"I was tremendously lucky to find David's advertisement online. I have been his student for only four weeks and I have gone from zero experience and skill on the guitar, and little else in music, to understanding the fundamentals of music and guitar and excelling in playing a complex song with six chords. David is friendly, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone!"
"After spending just one session with David, I realized the difference that a good teacher can make. David has provided me with the skills that I was lacking to become a confident violin player. His patience creates a comfortable environment for learning and his ongoing motivation inspires me to continually strive for a high level of achievement."

“Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks has not met Dave. He's turned a grumpy tone-deaf all-thumb 57 year old man into an enthusiastic guitar student and future rock star. Thanks buddy.”
"When I started, I thought the violin would be incredibly difficult to learn, but lessons with Dave made it fun! As a teacher, he's very knowledgeable and quick to correct mistakes before bad habits are formed. He's taught me everything from how to hold the bow properly to how to produce a good sound! His patience, encouragement, and friendly personality makes him a standout teacher!"
“Our children are those happy and skillful "casual players" that will practice every week, improvise at four hands and playing their homework. David Avanesov is the 21st century music teacher who adds the missing link of a modern education for our kids. The skills that he discretely instills in gamers and selfie takers, brings them happiness and makes them come back again and again, to his music classes…” (continue…)
