Aegean Au - Violin teacher in Stockton

Hi! I’m Aegean :) I come from a musical family, so classical music has always been a part of my life. I began playing the violin at the age of 5. I later studied at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), where I received comprehensive training in violin performance, theory, and orchestral playing. During my time in Hong Kong, I participated in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival as a solo violinist, where I was awarded 2nd Place. I also had the privilege to serve as the principal violinist in all the schools I’ve attended, performing in orchestras that took part in international music festivals around the world, including at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. I started tutoring violin when I was 16, both in and outside of school, and have since explored other areas of education, such as outdoor education and SEN language tutoring. Through all these experiences, I’ve realised that my true passion lies in what I began with - this 4 stringed instrument I’ve had a lifelong love-hate relationship with. It’s intimate, challenging, and endlessly rewarding, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I find teaching incredibly fulfilling. It’s not just about playing the right notes and rhythms, but about building connections, sharing joy, and helping each student grow at their own pace to become the best version of themselves. So whether you’re picking up the violin for fun or aiming for your next ABRSM exam, I’ve got you! 🎶 Music is cathartic. It’s a language of emotion, one that connects us, heals us, and reminds us that we’re alive. (Sorry that was a bit cheesy)

Kelsey Milian - Violin teacher in Stockton

Hello everyone, my name is Kelsey Milian Lopez, and I am a PhD candidate in Ethnomusicology at the City University of New York Graduate Center. My research explores how music connects to language, identity, and culture, particularly among Indigenous and Latin American communities. I earned my Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology from CUNY and my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Education from Furman University, where I focused on bilingual and multicultural learning. I have taught a variety of college courses at Brooklyn College, including introductory classes in music and general education that help students navigate their first year of university life. My teaching philosophy centers on creating inclusive, engaging classrooms where every student feels that their background and voice matter. I enjoy connecting theory with real-world examples and often incorporate multimedia, sound, and discussion-based learning to make material relevant and dynamic. Beyond the classroom, I have also facilitated workshops for undergraduate leadership programs and community initiatives that bring together music, storytelling, and cultural exchange. Teaching, for me, is about helping students recognize their own creative and intellectual potential while connecting what they learn to the world around them.
