Georgia Andrews - Violin teacher in Stockton

My name is Georgia and I started playing viola nearly 30 years ago. Once I started middle school I added cello to my basket of tricks and then violin in high school. I have played in various places throughout the East Coast from Pennsylvania down to Baltimore to Disney world in Florida. I have worked with various violinists including Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's concert master Johnathan Carney. I started teaching private lessons in high school and completed my student teaching the following year at a local middle school. From there I opened my own studio and have taught for 19+ years now. I have taught as young as 5 all the way through 83! I teach out of the Suzuki books but not the Suzuki method. I believe that everyone can learn to play an instrument and that everyone SHOULD play an instrument! You don't have to be the best violinist in the world so long as it brings you joy and happiness when you're playing! I keep lessons light and friendly with lots of fun while learning important skills for violin and life. I can't wait to meet you and get you started on your musical journey!

Asher Lee - Violin teacher in Stockton

I’m Asher! Welcome to my page! I have been teaching violin for 8 years and have been learning violin for over 20 years. I’ve had a long journey in selecting a field I not only excel at, but also enjoy, from trying out Computer Science to Psychology to Music Composition and even History. I am very happy to have settled on teaching violin! I hope I can help my students achieve their violin goals, regardless of what they may be. Outside of teaching violin, I enjoy cooking and baking, fishing, writing music, and playing video games. Teach me something about what you enjoy too! I strive to have not only a good student-teacher relationship, but also connect with my students on a personal level. I believe that if my students enjoy what they’re doing and feel heard during their lessons, they will be more inclined to practice and will achieve their musical dreams faster.

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.
