Over the past two years, during which I have had the privilege of studying with Giorgos as an advanced amateur, my playing has been profoundly transformed. As a performing violinist at the highest level, he draws in his teaching on the wide range of experience and insight gained through his professional career. He translates this into a rich blend of practical guidance, theoretical analysis, and attention to the historical background of a piece—always emphasizing the broader musical context in which these elements belong. Musicality lies at the heart of everything Giorgos teaches. This is precisely what makes his lessons relevant, accessible, and an endless source of inspiration. He effectively provides you with a toolkit and a mindset that enable you to analyze, interpret, and shape compositions musically. Elements such as phrasing, tempo, bowing, and left-hand technique naturally flow from this foundation. Hans B.
