Louis Privitera

I always appreciate the professionalism and mastery Louis brings to his teaching and in working with others.  He has a great ability to relate with his students while challenging them to be the best they can be.

Louis is the sort of inspirational teacher whose impact continues to be a part of one's life long after formal studies with him conclude. I remember first falling in love with the viola and still treating it as a hobby until Louis demanded more. His inspirational exposure to all aspects of the music world, combined with his unwavering demand for his students to be able to express everything they wish through performance, make Louis a uniquely supportive and successful educator.

We are very grateful for the improvement in our daughter's playing after taking private lessons with Louis. Even more important, her enjoyment and appreciation of music increased, which has resulted in self-motivation and self-study beyond anything we could have expected.

Thank you, Louis.  Thank you for your dedication to not just my son, Elliott, but to all of your students.  I have watched Elliott transform into a more skillful, better disciplined, dedicated and motivated musician because you take the time to not only teach music, but to guide your students into the network of the music community, qualm performance fears – even qualm life fears.   You have been a strong and positive life influence for Elliott and he truly values your mentorship – and most importantly – your friendship both now and future to share.
