Meet Dovid Friedlander.
Elite Violinist. Acclaimed Teacher. Proven Mentor.
I picked up the violin at three years old—and never put it down. By sixteen, I was already performing professionally, launching a career that took me to some of the finest orchestras in the country.
I’ve held positions with the San Antonio Symphony and Columbus Symphony before spending 15 years as Associate Concertmaster of the North Carolina Symphony. As a soloist and chamber musician, I’ve brought to life everything from Hindemith’s Kammermusik to Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
But my greatest passion? Helping violinists—whether aspiring professionals or dedicated amateurs—unlock their full potential and play with freedom, confidence, and artistry.
My Mission: Helping Violinists Reach Their Full Potential
Every violinist—whether preparing for major auditions, pursuing a professional career, or playing for personal fulfillment—deserves training that builds skill, confidence, and joy. I teach with a holistic approach, helping students develop both the technical precision and the physical and mental strength needed to perform at their best.
I believe that playing the violin isn’t just about the hours in the practice room—it’s about efficient training, the right mindset, and a system that works for you. My goal is to help students eliminate unnecessary struggle so they can play with greater ease, consistency, and artistry.
A Teaching Approach That Goes Beyond the Lesson
Many teachers focus only on weekly lessons—but I know that real progress happens in between lessons. That’s why I stay in continuous contact with my students through video messaging.
You don’t have to wait until your next lesson to get help. If you hit a wall with a passage or need guidance on your bowing or intonation, you can send me a video anytime and get direct feedback. This accelerates progress and ensures that every lesson builds on real improvements, not just guesswork.
Proven Results: Where My Students Have Gone
Over the years, I’ve helped violinists at all levels achieve their goals, from earning scholarships to elite conservatories to winning professional orchestra positions. My students have gone on to:
Top Music Schools: Juilliard, Cleveland Institute, UNC Chapel Hill
Professional Orchestras: Kansas City Symphony, Syracuse Symphony
Personal Growth & Mastery: Many of my students are professionals in other fields—doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs—who want to play at a high level and truly enjoy the violin.
