VOV DYLAN - VIOLIN TEACHING STUDIO

Now Enrolling for 2025 and 2026

Based in Thornleigh since 2012, Vov Dylan’s Violin Teaching Studio welcomes students from age 5 through to adults, from complete beginners to advanced performers preparing for professional work. Lessons are designed to suit each student’s goals — whether pursuing exams, competitions, professional pathways, or simply learning for enjoyment.

Vov is one of Australia’s most recognised violinists, with a career spanning over 15 albums, national and international touring, ARIA chart-topping releases (Kismet – Australia’s highest-selling classical album of 2022, and La Vida Apasionada – No. 1 on the ARIA Classical and Crossover charts in 2025), and premieres of nearly 50 new Australian works. He brings this professional expertise directly into his teaching, offering students the rare opportunity to learn from an artist active on the concert stage. In 2025, Vov was a keynote speaker at the Australian String Teachers Association (AUSTA) Golden Jubilee Conference, presenting on contemporary Australian violin repertoire and education.
