Antoinette is the owner of NYC Violin Studio, the head violin instructor and a local performing artist. She has been teaching violin since 2009. She is a versatile violinist that specializes in classical and contemporary (pop/rock). Her other favorite genres are electric violin, singer/songwriter and fiddle.

Antoinette has been playing violin for 35 years, 5-string electric violin for 12 years, cello for 2 years and viola for 4 years. She has taught thousands of hours in private violin lessons since 2009, and thousands more hours of group classes since 2018.

She runs her studio from the heart of NYC, in Midtown Manhattan. 

When she's not teaching group classes or private lessons, Antoinette is program directing and running the day-to-day workings of the studio. She wrote the Absolute Beginner Violin Book 1: A Powerful New Method for Busy Adult with No Musical Experience and founded the Song Library on the NYC Violin Studio website. She has produced hundreds of practice and informational videos, on YouTube and SoundSlice.com. 

She is an active member of the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) and the NY Repertory Orchestra (NYRO), which is based in Manhattan and holds 6 concerts a year, open to the public.

The compliment she receives most often from her students is that she is a friendy, patient teacher who persists until the results are gotten.

Antoinette gigs around New York City with Scotia Rose (original music) and Luxury Lounge (cover music). In 2023 - 2024, she performed at The Cutting Room, Brooklyn Bowl, Mercury Lounge, Arlene’s Grocery, TV EYE, Berlin, Pianos, Bowery Electric, Prohibition, Connoly’s, O’Reilly's, Bar Freda, Shrine, Brooklyn Music Kitchen, Wicked Willy’s and Crabshell.



She performs most regularly at the Red Lion on Sunday nights, about twice a month.
