Bachelor of Music, Viola Performance
Learn to play the violin and viola from a performer with 13+ years of experience.
I specialize in viola and early violin studies, all ages and experience levels welcome. I work to meet each student where they are in their musical journey and focus on their goals. When studying with me, I add fun to every aspect of your study, from practice room to performance hall.
I come from a classical background, but my higher education experience has exposed me to many kinds of musical expression. If you've got something you want to play, I can help you build towards it!

About Colton S.
Hello! I am a performer and educator, graduating from Boston Conservatory in spring 2023 with a Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance.
I teach viola and violin students with the goal of guiding significant musical improvement and providing a well-balanced musical education. I develop each individual student's curriculum based on exactly what they need and what they want to get out of musical study, and regularly check in with them to help meet their goals. My students develop skills that help them outside of the musical world, such as personal accountability, drive, and mindfulness.
I teach primarily viola students, but I also teach early violin students. I've studied the viola for 13 years, including graduating in 2019 from the Interlochen Arts Academy for viola. Through my studies, I've acquired skills to teach violin, and currently work with the Boston Music Project, teaching students in their first 1-4 years on the instrument.
As a performer, I've worked with several large ensembles and premiered many works in and around Boston, including performing as the principal violist for the Aeon Ensemble's Boston premier and Boston Conservatory's recording premier.
I want to give back to the music community the wealth of knowledge and skills that have been passed to me. I believe that music education can be just as fun as it is rewarding, and look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and guiding you along your musical journey!
