Briana Di Mara, Violin Instruction and Performance

I hired Brianna to play as a solo violinists at my wedding last month. She was wonderful! she is such a sweetheart and played beautifully. I couldnt have been more pleased with how it all went. She is easy to talk reach, reliable and offers so many kinds of sounds. Even tho i dont think she normally plays what i wanted she nailed it and it sounded so good! Thank you again Brianna for making out day that much more special and thank you for the butterfly picture that by the way was such a good shot. XXX :)

Briana and her music-​mate Diana played the music for my wedding last Spring. She was a huge help in figuring out what kind of sound I wanted. While she’s best known for playing in the Balkan/​Mediterranean/​Middle Eastern sound, she’s so versatile in her musical abilities that I felt like I could ask for any style and Briana would be able to accommodate my wishes. Our ceremony involved the musicians leading the guests, pied-​piper style, out of a pre-​ceremony cocktail area, down a flight of stairs and out onto a pier, all while playing music. Briana + Diana pulled it off beautifully and didn’t miss a beat! Briana also knows a ton of musicians in the bay area, so while I only wanted a simple sound for our ceremony, she was able to offer a wide range of musicians for a larger ensemble if that’s what I wanted. I highly recommend working with Briana for your next event!

Since my 10 year old daughter started Suzuki /​fiddle lessons with Brianna, her enthusiasm toward playing and practicing has completely transformed. She has begun to really love playing music. The lessons are rigorous and fun. I would highly recommend Brianna for violin instruction.

Briana is not just an amazing violinist, but she is just a fantastic teacher with my daughter. She is great around her young students and they all seem to have a natural affinity for her. We were able to see her other students perform together at her monthly group lesson sessions.
We started our daughter at 3yo and Briana has been instructing her using the Suzuki method. At first, it was difficult for her to concentrate, but less than a year later, my daughter is doing quite well and is obviously on her way to being a competent player. Plus, her concentration and accuracy has improved remarkably. Can’t wait to jam with my kid! :)
