    Foster a love for the violin and music with an inspired award-winning violinist!

    I fell in love with the violin at age 5, and after 17 years of focused study, I want to share the gift of music and violin-playing to you! After graduating from the Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music, and after studying with multiple world renown violinists and professors, I’ve learned to teach in a multitude of ways, and I will tailor lessons to you! If you’re a beginner, I’ll help establish a foundation in ear training, rhythm, and positioning. If you’re advanced, I’ll help develop the inner artist, guiding you to find new colors, master new techniques, and achieve your ideas of beautiful music!

    About Sam Z.

    4.5
    (2)
    I’m a professional violinist based in the DC area. In my playing experience, I’ve won multiple awards as a soloist and chamber musician, and I’ve earned concertmaster/principal positions in multiple orchestras. In my 5 years of teaching, my students have earned concertmaster positions. I’ve worked with a numerous number of world renown musicians, including the Juilliard Quartet, Concord Trio, Phillipe Quint, Zuill Bailey, Ara Gregorian, Hye-Jin Kim, and numerous principle members of the North Carolina Symphony. I’m a product of the teachers and professors I’ve worked with, each of them are vastly different. I’ve learned unique perspectives and teaching styles from each of them, so I am equipped to teach you wherever you are in your musical journey! Some pieces I’ve worked on recently include the Beethoven Violin Concerto, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, Brahms sextet in B-flat, Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, Bach partita no. 2 and sonata no. 2 & 3. Ysaye Sonata no. 4. You can find my senior recital on YouTube!
