ViolinPanda  Reviews 

Rima has been a brilliant and patient tutor who helped our daughter to gain confidence im learning to play violin. She just passed ABRSM level 2 in violin with solid high merit . Thank you 🥰

My son has been learning violin with Rimma since he was eight years old. Under her guidance he has just completed his Grade 7 ABRSM exam with a merit at age twelve. Throughout these years, she has struck a wonderful balance between constructive feedback and genuine encouragement. Her teaching style is firm but always fair, creating an environment where students feel both supported and motivated to improve. She brings dedication, patience, and high standards to every lesson.

In my son’s own words: “Rimma has such a deep understanding of music which makes her explanations so clear and easy to understand. Her feedback is always easy to act on during practice sessions.” Hearing this from him speaks volumes about the positive impact she has had on his learning and confidence as a violinist.

I highly recommend Rimma to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and truly inspiring violin teacher.

I went back to playing violin after a long break, I found Rimma and started with her, she is an excellent teacher very caring and patient with me. I have gone on to do my ABRSM grade 3 and grade 4 passing both first time, I'm now going on to my grade 5. Rimma doesn't rush you through the music she takes it at my pace and explains thing if I don't understand anything.
I will definitely recommend Rimma to anyone who wishes to take up playing the violin.

The course is perfectly structured, engaging, and really helpful for learning step by step.
Rimma is not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and supportive. She always takes the time to answer questions and makes sure everything is clear

The teacher is really good and she explains everything very simple, easy to follow. Recommended for sure.

Ms. Rimma cares about your learning. I took her Udemy course out of curiosity. But she was hands on in even that. Right from which Violin to buy and which books to read, she also made a Telegram group to allow her students to post their videos for feedback and getting their doubts cleared. She often takes live lessons for her Udemy students.

I will definitely recommend her as a violin teacher for anyone who wants to learn the beautiful but incredibly hard instrument.

With violin you can't cut any corners. The tension in your thumb can throw off your bow stroke. The content of the course was gradual and sequential to ensure that fundamentals are emphasized and carefully implemented. Even elements of basic reading of music notes on a staff were included so everyone was on an even learning plateau. Beginning pieces of music to initiate violin bowing and fingering were introduced in the right proportion. Lastly the course ended with getting up to an actual playing tempo with metronome timing for violin play along. What I really appreciated was the offering of intermediate level violin content to continue the learning progression. A student doesn't want the extent of his/her playing to be twinkle twinkle little star. Any good teacher helps their students aspire to more and that is especially true of Rimma Agbo's follow -up course.

Learning from Rimma has been an enjoyable experience.

I would recommend for beginner violinists.

Rimma from ViolinPanda is the most true self, she really really wants her students to learn Violin, if you are serious about learning violin and excelling at it, to the level of professional musicians, you need a professional environment and Rimma provides you full holistic eco-system ( feedbacks, live caring and community ) rather than just a recorded video course. I strongly recommend her. Her encouraging style and the incredible depth (nuances) will keep you engaged so that you enjoy though out. She is one passionate soul who has clearly dedicated her life for Violin lovers.

Rimma tutored my daughter over the summer break when school was out. She was easy to work with and a great communicator as we planned the lessons. Once we started, she treated my daughter like a cherished student with both care and high expectations. She taught my daughter techniques and music pieces she would not have learned in school because of the size of her class. Thanks to Rimma, my daughter started the school year ahead of her class was asked to be the section leader for violas in her school orchestra.
