Grammy Award–winning violinist and San Francisco Conservatory concertmaster offering personalized lessons focused on improving intonation, tone, and confident, expressive playing.

Aleksi is one of the kindest and best violin teachers I have ever worked with. His dedication is quite special, and I am grateful to have worked under his guidance.

As a colleague Aleksi Zaretsky is one of the hardest working, most professional and charismatic people I’ve ever met. He is a well respected performer/teacher in the bay area music scene and puts the utmost care into his students. I would highly recommend working with Aleksi to anyone looking to take music lessons and dramatically improve their skills!

I worked with him for many years since 2021 and I can say he is an absolute gem. He is super detailed in his teaching, very musical and has an excellent understanding on violin playing. Mr. Zaretsky helped me getting into my dream school (top music school) and has always been super attentive, supportive and one genuine kind human.
I also had the opportunity to play along with him at a local orchestra and I was blown away by his enthusiasm, talent and professionalism. For sure an extremely solid musician and teacher if you want to improve a lot faster.
If you see this Aleksi I just want to say thanks again, you are the amazing :)
