A violin teacher in Sydney, teaching every lesson himself

Strings Embassy is a violin and viola studio in Neutral Bay, on Sydney's lower North Shore, teaching since 2014. Every lesson is taught one-to-one by Dominik Przywara, a concert violinist — not passed on through a booking platform.

The method develops complex and logical thinking. Students learn to break a difficult passage into steps and solve it, and they carry that habit into other school subjects and everyday life.

We prepare students for ABRSM and AMEB violin and viola exams, and for national and international competitions, alongside beginners aged 5 and adults starting out or returning.

The studio is at 250 Military Road, Neutral Bay — easy to reach from Mosman, Cremorne, North Sydney and the wider North Shore. Visits are by appointment only: book, call or text 0415 096 611 before coming.

The studio's signature · part of every lesson program

The Intelligent Practising Method.

Built on a checklist, conscious planning, and deliberately established habits and responses, the method grew out of European conservatoire standards and was rebuilt around the practical needs of Australian students. It reframes practice as a structured, diagnostic activity — turning the hours between lessons into the most productive part of the week. The method trains focus, planning and logical thinking — skills students carry into other school subjects and everyday life.
