Introduction: Performer: I am an NYC based performer and I have been playing violin for 20 years. I have performed for countless weddings and luxury events in New York City and across the country. I absolutely love working closely with clients to ensure the music at their event elevates each moment. My services include performing not only as a solo violinist but, if your event requires, I can provide a violin duo, string trio, string quartet, piano trio or duo (made up of musicians whom I've performed with previously) to join me. Private Violin Teacher: I previously owned and operated a private violin studio of upwards of 30 students (ranging in ages from 4 to 60 years old) while living in Tennessee. As a New Yorker, I teach private students all over the Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, from ages 4-15. I bring years of experience not only as a teacher but as an administrator. I arrive on time and value clear and prompt communication with all my violin student's families. My teaching style provides both a strong technical foundation and joyful approach to solving problems. Performer: Playing for weddings and special events is always a highlight of my work as a violinist. It's an honor to work with clients and provide a product that makes an event special. Private Violin Teacher: I love that violin lessons positively effect every important aspect of a child's brain development. I love the wonderful connection between student and teacher and the empowerment that happens as children see the fruits of their hard work.

I'm not a musician myself, but I was blown over by how easy Caroline was to work with and she is clearly a talented violinist--she helped make our wedding really beautiful. Some of my musician friends commented on how technically amazing her playing was, and I'd definitely defer to their thoughts on the music front :). I'd highly recommend Caroline to play at any event where music, professionalism, and quality really matters! Thanks, Caroline!

Caroline played violin for my wedding and did an absolutely wonderful job. She was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and made our ceremony very special and memorable. We could not have picked a better violinist!

Caroline has taught my eight year old son for three years now. She has always shown a high level of professionalism in her teaching; she respects my son’s individual needs and always approaches his unique learning styles. She is kind, caring, and a very good communicator with children. Highly recommend.

Caroline is the consummate professional in every way. Her teaching style is adaptable to every student’s individual needs, and she consistently helps them improve. Would highly recommend to a violinist of ANY level.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My quotes (both for events and private teaching) are negotiable. I offer a free trial lesson to new private students.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Performer: I can provide you with a list of music options but will also play any song requests if provided well enough in advance. I will always be available to set up calls or talk over text or email prior to the event so that you are always sure we are on the same page. Private lessons: I offer a free trial lesson so the student and I can get to know each other before beginning regular lessons. I can also assist with the rental or purchase of an instrument.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I received a B.A. from Covenant College and graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee with a Masters in Violin Performance. My private teachers include Andrea Bryant, Maria Sampen, Timothy Christie, Don Zimmer, Blair Milton, and Gary Kosloski. I have performed in masterclasses with Mauricio Fuks, Paul Kantor, Alex Kerr, Frank Almond, Lucie Robert, Ilya Kaler, Bill Preucil, and Gerardo Ribeiro. I won and hold a tenured position with the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, in addition to performing with orchestral groups throughout NYC and the East Coast.
