About Ariana

Hi! My name is Ariana , and I'm a violinist and educator who loves helping students, especially young beginners, discover the joy of music. I teach students from toddlers to young adults, blending playful activities with focused skill-building to develop technique, musicianship, and creativity. I began my musical journey at the Belle Arti Center for the Arts, studying piano before switching to violin at age 11. Since then, I've performed as a soloist, served as President of my school's String Ensemble, and studied with competitive soloist Rachel Varga. Since 2022, I've volunteered at Lincoln Center's Audition Boot Camp and in 2025 I served as Lead Junior Mentor for the Juilliard campus. I also teach private violin lessons for children as young as 2. 5. I'm a student at Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College, majoring in Music and Chemistry. My goal is to nurture confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of music in every student
