Here’s What People Have to Say:
“I feel so lucky to have found Narain as my violin teacher. I was a complete violin beginner and Narain was extremely patient and helpful with getting me started on the violin. When I encounter difficulties, Narain always finds the most efficient method for fixing my problems. He is also an amazing musician and his violin playing motivates me. Because of Narain, I have made great improvements on the violin and now I enjoy playing this instrument!” – Vivien, 2022
Narain is a wonderful teacher, and we feel so fortunate to have connected with him when we moved to San Francisco! His high expectations motivate us to practice and stretch our skills, while he also graciously meets us where we are each week and adapts our lessons to respond to questions or needs as they come up. He is very attentive to form, noticing and suggesting even seemingly minor adjustments that have major impacts on both physical comfort and quality of sound. Narain is great at explaining the mechanics of how we play, often with great metaphors or quick demonstrations to illuminate a concept, and I appreciate the way he asks us as students to observe our own experience and make inferences about how we might improve. He brings that same creativity to teaching how to read music, with a wide variety of games to help us learn notation, rhythm, and dynamics. He is also very organized, clearly communicating about lesson plans and continuing practice, as well as offering additional opportunities like a joint recital coming up in a few weeks. Above all, Narain is knowledgable, kind, encouraging, challenging, affirming, and fun! – Candice & Elijah, 2022
“Narain is a great teacher. He is extremely patient and detail oriented. He explains the techniques and focus points very well and make them easy to understand and follow by kids. And he always shares the tips to play clean and to sound better. We also like that he would introduce different play styles to students and let the students decide their own way to play.” – Anonymous, 2022
Narain tries “to understand underlying issues of the kids and give the different way to solve. Trigger the kids to think and bring up their own music in a right way.” – Jetty, 2022
