Philip O.

I am a professional concert violinist and teacher. I hold a Master's Degree in Violin from University of Oklahoma, where I was the concertmaster of the university symphony and an assistant teacher to the violin professor. My extensive musical training has given me the needed skills to be the best teacher I can be.

I have been happily teaching violin for over 10 years, and it becomes more enjoyable each day. I currently teach at The Musicians Learning Center in Raleigh, as well as privately. My experience has included beginner students, highly advanced violinists in music school, and any level in between. Every student is completely different from the next, demanding a very dynamic and sensitive teaching style on my own part. My success in this has allowed my students to consistently thrive under me and to look forward to each lesson as much as I do.

My performance career has included positions with numerous professional symphony orchestras around the country, including the Austin Symphony , the Wichita Symphony, the Amarillo Symphony, and many more. I have also performed in hundreds of public concerts and functions as a soloist and an ensemble musician.

Whether you are picking up the violin for the first time, would like help learning/writing your favorite song, or are an advanced violinist preparing for music school auditions, I am eager to meet you!
