The creation of the Jazz Violin Academy
Drawing on these years of experience, Eva began giving masterclasses internationally. She felt a growing desire to pass on her approach to jazz violin, yet struggled to find the time and structure to do so.

Her first pregnancy, which led her to slow down her concert schedule, marked a turning point. She dedicated her time to creating a new educational concept and founded the Jazz Violin Academy, an international online jazz violin school that has since become the top Google reference on the subject, as well as a method entitled A new way to learn swing on the violin.
