Daisy Abello, Violinst

"Marcus has a very evident passion for music that quickly spreads to those he comes into contact with. Apart from being a gifted musician, he also has the care and patience that teaching demands. He is very effective in transferring the knowledge he has attained throughout his years of experience and always encourages his mentees, no matter where they are on their musical journey. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to better themselves as a musician."

Katelyn Sewcharran, Violinist

Marcus Brodsky is one of the finest teachers you’ll come across. He’s a leader but also a friend. He connects to me as his student and picked up right away on my areas of weakness and what we needed to work on although, he still complemented the things I did right. Not to mention, he delivers great NYSSMA scores every year... He’s an amazing teacher…”

Sabrina Thomas, Parent

Marcus has been so instrumental in my daughter’s success with the violin. Marcus has a way of making his students feel comfortable during lessons. It’s completely a no judgement zone. He is extremely patient with all of his students no matter their playing ability. Jordan’s confidence level has gone up tremendously since working with Marcus. She has become fearless when it comes to sight reading and is constantly looking for challenging pieces to play . Under Marcus, my daughter has consistently received A+ in NYSSMA, playing at a level 6. She was concertmaster in the Strings Orchestra for GYO, while concert master assistant in MYO’s Concert Orchestra. She has played in the pit in every school play since 2020 and has started her own quartet. She has recently been accepted to the MAP program at Juilliard. Marcus is an amazing instructor. Any student would be lucky to work with him!
