I began playing the violin in 3rd grade in my school general music class and instantly fell in love with it. I begged my mom for private lessons and after a year, she finally caved in. By my freshman year in high school, I had decided that I wanted to major in violin performance in college and make a career out of being a classical violinist.
I went on to earn my Bachelor of Music in violin performance from State University of New York at Purchase. During my freshman year, I began teaching private violin and viola lessons at the Westport Music Center in Connecticut. I quickly realized that teaching is very fulfilling and that I loved sharing my passion and knowledge of the violin with others. While in undergrad, I also won my first job in a part time professional orchestra, the Ridgefield Symphony in Connecticut.
After completing my Bachelor's degree, I went on to earn my Master of Music from Boston University, also in violin performance. During the two years I lived in...

I began playing the violin and piano when I was 4 years old. My mother was a piano teacher for over 30 years with contagious passion for music and her students, so with training in perfect pitch, sight-reading, and other musicianship skills, I began performing solo and in ensembles. I soon became an assistant teacher, beginning my own private lessons.
Since elementary school, I've been a part of the church choir, school band, and orchestra. As I entered high school, I decided to become more active and take leadership in the ensembles. I became the Concert Mistress of the symphonic and string orchestra and held onto my first chair until graduation. I also participated in the San Jose Philharmonic Orchestra, as first violinist. I was a first violinist of the Korean American Music Supporters Association (KAMSA), performing a concert at the Disney Concert Hall. Since 1997, I have won countless awards from CWC Annual Music Competitions, California Music Education Association, KTVN Bay...

I have a bachelors in Violin, Viola and Vocal Performance, that I earned while on full scholarship for music. I started violin as a young child with the Suzuki Method and later added viola. I began singing professional gigs while still in high school, and was the youngest member ever with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus at 17. I also have extensive experience singing in non-classical groups and bands and am comfortable performing and teaching musical theatre, pop, country, opera, operetta, and church music. With solid vocal technique my students are able to cross genres with ease, and sing whatever inspires them musically.

I currently sing with the San Diego Master Chorale and the San Diego Symphony. I was concertmaster in several symphony orchestras and have played as section leader for viola in numerous groups. I also play in and manage a string quartet and am also currently coaching small group string ensembles.

I am comfortable teaching with various...

I started studying classical violin at the age of nine in the cold heartland of Alaska. During my K-12 years I had the privilege of taking private lessons, playing in various music groups, and was a member of the Anchorage Honors Orchestra, Anchorage Jr. Youth Symphony, and Anchorage Youth Symphony.

The teacher who I think taught me the most, however, had to be Walter Olivares. What he taught me was a new perspective to the violin that has changed my entire outlook of violin study and music. It is this changed perspective that has driven me to become a better musician and mentor. My time spent studying with him at the University of Alaska, Anchorage as well as playing with him in the UAA Sinfonia are some of my best memories.

Currently I am a freelance violinist who enjoys spending his free time playing and improvising music with friends.

Hi, I was born in Ukraine in 1982, and left for the states in 1989. I studied musical composition at UCSD, and have taught Orchestra at many public and private schools in San Diego for over a decade. I played in many ensembles of varying styles on various instruments. The combination of all these experiences have led me to create a complete music system.

I currently have a studio of 20+ students and I hold optional recitals twice a year. The recitals feature students as soloists, in duets, or solo with piano accompaniment.

In 2011, I graduated with my Bachelor's of Music in Performance Violin and Viola from the Cole Conservatory of Music at the California State University, Long Beach where I also studied conducting, music theory, and piano.

I have been teaching the violin privately for over 12 years. I have taught the violins at Serrano Middle School and Woodbridge High School.

I job shadowed other private violin instructors when I was in high school. I also went to a 12 weekl teaching seminar called, "In Search of: A Guide to Violin Excellence."

I perform frequently with Montage Symphony, Dana Point Symphony, and Symphony Irvine as Assistant Principal Violist.

I studied the violin privately for 19 years with violin teachers from the Juilliard School of Music and Ken Aiso, former teacher from the Royal Academy of...
