Welcome to Studio Pizzicato,
a place where the violin becomes more than an instrument – it becomes the voice of the soul.
I am Ines Ana Tomić, M.A., violin teacher and author with more than 25 years of experience. My students perform in concerts, win awards in Croatia and abroad, and study at renowned academies such as Yale, Berlin and Vienna – some are already respected professional musicians. My book Exercises and Scales for Violin Positions was reviewed in The Strad, where Celia Cobb called it her new favourite shifting and position-work book.
Studio Pizzicato is a place for creating, discovering and sharing music. Through books, printable resources, free online tools and masterclasses, we bring the violin and violin teaching closer to students, teachers and parents.
If you believe music can change a life – you are in the right place.
