Ina Strings Studio

The Ina Strings Studio offers Suzuki and traditional violin and viola lessons for students of all ages.

I maintain a private violin and viola studio in Madison, Wisconsin. I offer weekly individual lessons geared for each student's age, ability, and goals.

My approach to teaching is a unique blend of my own European and American education, mixed with principles of the Suzuki philosophy and Paul Rolland teaching. I draw upon many years of experience as a teacher and a performer to apply a variety of music and teaching tools that help each student achieve their best potential.

I am passionate about teaching, and feel that a friendly, personalized learning environment is important. My emphasis is on developing essential instrumental skills, such as proper posture, technique, beautiful tone, and musicianship. The ultimate goal is for each student to become not only a good musician but also a well-rounded person by learning character-building skills including discipline, time management, independent thinking, patience, and self-esteem.

Bulgarian-born violist Ina Georgieva has taught violin and viola privately for over 10 years. She is certified to teach violin and viola in the Suzuki method, and received scholarships from the American Suzuki Institute and the Suzuki Association of the Americas in pursuit of this training.

Ina is currently on faculty with WYSO Music Makers and coaches chamber music at WYSO. In addition, she teaches violin and viola at the Bearclaw String Academy and Music con Brio afterschool programs.

An accomplished orchestra musician and chamber music performer, Ina is currently a member of the Madison Symphony Orchestra. She was previously with Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, Sofia State Opera (Bulgaria), Theater Erfurt (Germany), and New Symphony Orchestra (Bulgaria).

Ina holds degrees in viola performance from the National Academy of Music (Bulgaria), Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar (Germany), and Texas Christian University (United States).
