Violin with Richard L.

Hi there! My name is Richard and I'm a 26-year old violin teacher with over a decade in experience playing and teaching the violin. My journey with the violin began in middle school, when I first spotted a funny little wooden instrument in the back of the room :) Ever since, I have gone on to become a two-time All-State Violinist, a multi-time concertmaster, a WNEP Artist of the Week, a member of the University of Pennsylvania's Chamber Orchestra, and founder of the Platt Quartet (performed at various weddings and celebratory occasions). My teaching style exemplifies how I always wanted to be taught — with patience, empathy, and compassion. I have taught students of all ages, from young children to high schoolers and even 40+ year old adults. Beyond the violin, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020, where I studied Systems Engineering and Environmental Science. In my free time, I love playing tennis, spending time outdoors with my fiance, and doing water sports.
