About
At William Violin Studio, I believe learning the violin should be joyful, inspiring, and tailored to each student’s unique goals. Whether you or your child is picking up the violin for the first time, preparing for youth orchestra auditions, or returning to music after a few years away, I try to create a warm and encouraging environment where progress feels natural and rewarding. With years of teaching and performance experience, I specialize in helping students of all ages build a strong foundation in technique, musicianship, and confidence. My lessons combine classical teaching methods with modern, student-centered approaches so you can grow at your own pace. Highlights: - Patient and engaging - Flexible approach - Emphasis on technical foundation A little about me: I hold degrees in Violin Performance from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. I perform regularly as a member of the first violin section of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and with the Baltimore Chamber Players. I also serve as the Artistic Director of Apollo Chamber Music, performing frequently in the DMV area. I’ve studied with world class teachers, including the Associate Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Principal Second Violin of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

I scoured the web for two weeks looking through dozens of violinists but William immediately stood out from the rest in technical skill and musicality. Even from the small snippets of him playing online, you can tell that he is extremely talented and able to imbue his music with beauty and emotion that are unparalleled. And he most DEFINITELY delivered on all of that talent at our wedding. In particular, we had requested the song "Seasons of Love" for our entrance music, but we were worried that it would sound clunky on violin since all the violin covers we could find online sounded a little hollow. But William managed to play the most beautiful rendition of Seasons of Love that really started off the wedding ceremony on a magical note and STILL has our guests talking about it in awe! Beyond his musical talent, William was also incredibly professional and responsive, which took away all the stress of having to coordinate musicians for the wedding day. He was also extra accommodating, and was happy to be paired with a pianist that he had not played with before. Truly I cannot recommend William more highly, an absolute gem for any wedding day!!!

We had William of Apollo Chamber Music play solo violin for our wedding ceremony and were thrilled not just with his talent but his professionalism from start to finish. From first contact via Thumbtack to meeting him after the ceremony, the exchange was perfect. William responded quickly to our emails, his fee was very reasonable, he was punctual and our guests LOVED the ambiance he provided with his music. I would highly recommend Apollo Chamber Music for your special event.

I would hands down recommend Apollo String Quartet and will use again for future events. The music was a beautiful touch to our wedding ceremony (violin & keyboard) and William is very responsive.

The added violins to the wedding ceremony were amazing! They were a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible and understanding. They showed up prior to wedding to set up and rehearse which I appreciated. The overall professionalism caught everyone's attention. I would highly recommend them on any project!
