"I believe Eva Bogren might be the best violin teacher in Europe right now. Her team of students, Scandinavian Strings, performing at the European String Teachers' Association's conference in Paris, displayed excellent violin technique, beautiful sound and intonation, musical rendering and a joyful relaxed attitude."
