Wonderful teacher!!

I have enjoyed the privilege of taking violin lessons with Caroline for several years now. She is an extremely gifted musician with the ability to communicate the highest level of intonation imaginable across an online platform. She is also very adaptable to individual student preferences, lifestyles and aspirations, as well as being equipped with a sense of humour, which makes her instructive lessons more enjoyable. More generally, her personality and approach to communicating advice are particularly well-suited to her role as a music instructor. While on the one hand, she is extremely astute and strives for precision in technique and sound, she is tactful in her approach, equipping the learner with a vision for improvement at a realistic pace while acknowledging progress from one lesson to another. I can't imagine having a more suitable choice of violin teacher for my own lifestyle and aspirations, and I have looked forward to every lesson I have attended!

Lessons with Caroline are fantastic. She explains technical instructions very well and most importantly they are very helpful! I most definitely look forward to more lessons in the future.

I first contacted Caroline to ask advice on a specific concern regarding my violin hold and I was amazed how effectively and quickly I was assisted. Her knowledge, intuition and sensitivity towards student's individuality, together with her warm personality and lovely sense of humor, make her classes both very helpful and enjoyable. I feel that her lessons have helped me develop both my performing and teaching skills and I will certainly continue to discover her interesting approach to violin playing and teaching!

I had problems with my bowing technique and got the idea to consult Caroline Duffner in Vienna. Knowing that Caroline is an expert of the New Approach of Kato Havas I was in good faith to get a good result. I took a Six Lesson Course and resolved my problems. In particular,know I am able to play with the whole bow, from frog to tip, with a sustained singing tone and my difficulties I had with bow control in the upper half of the bow are completly resoved. As regards my string crossings I feel much more secure and in balance. Resolving these technical issues has really helped me perform in public and teach my own students with much greater ease and assurance. It has really changed my life as a musician for the better.

When I came to Caroline - I had pain in my little fourth Finger, and I already sensed that there was too much tension in the way I was playing the violin. I was impressed when Caroline showed my how to use/take advantage of balance to decrease tension - It worked so well for me and joyfully improved my playing. No pain in my little finger since then.
