"James Ling is a phenomenal violin instructor. He was my instructor all through high school and I even went back to him as an adult after I hadn’t played for many years and wanted to get back into it. He’s extremely knowledgeable, personable, and patient. I highly recommend him for anybody wanting to learn how to play violin or Viola."

"Mr Ling is exceptionally professional and passionate about what he does. I had the privilege of him as my teacher when taking classical violin classes, and he was an outstanding instructor. He was patient, kind, and encouraging. I can’t say I picked it up very fast, but with his meticulous guidance, encouragement, and positive attitude, I excelled further than I could have imagined. He is incredibly skilled and professional, carrying himself with a certain dignity and pride. He is also very humble, which stood out to me the most when I first met him. You can tell that he loves what he does, which makes him very effective in being able to teach and instruct others very efficiently. 10/10 endorse!"
