Our Story
Hi, I’m Rimma—a classically trained violinist with a Master’s Degree in Musical Arts and Pedagogy.
I created ViolinPanda out of a deep passion for teaching and a heartfelt desire to make violin learning accessible, joyful, and stress-free for adult beginners. After years of performing and teaching in both conservatories and private studios, I noticed a gap: adults eager to learn often felt overlooked in traditional violin education.
ViolinPanda was born to change that.
