Tomas is a passionate teacher who is committed to helping you cultivate and achieve your musical and professional goals

Dr.Cotik is an excellent violinist and teacher. His teaching approach helped me to understand how to practice more effectively. I am so glad I can study with him at PSU!

I can confidently say that Tomas Cotik’s guidance and expertise helped transform my playing, and I am forever grateful for the invaluable musical foundation his patience and skill provided

Mr. Cotik’s thoughtful and intelligent teaching helped me to feel and hear my playing in a much more comfortable and involved manner.

His ability to discover solutions and create personalized exercises to overcome technical challenges is unparalleled–Tomas teaching is boundlessly creative

During a master class in Round Top, Dr. Cotik helped us discover all the cues we can give our body to find a new way to relax and develop a more economic use of the body. I have been practicing yoga for several years now and his simple approach to Alexander Technique was a great enhancement to my playing, body awareness and energy expenditure.

He doesn’t pretend he has all the right answers but he gives me choices so that I can discover a personal solution.

Tomás has a genuine interest in his students’ progress. He is dedicated to teaching as much as he is to playing the violin

Dr. Cotik’s unyielding work ethic and subsequent success as an artist and educator is inspiring and motivating for his students
