Experience
Aside from performance endeavors, Grace has been building several years of experience as a violin instructor. She first began teaching through an inaugural tutoring program with her high school, teaching and mentoring middle school violin/viola students three times per week after school. Later, she taught privately through both Zoom and in person. During the summers, she was a teaching assistant at the Atlanta Festival Academy, coaching violin sectionals in orchestral rehearsals. More recently, she was a full-time private violin instructor at a school in Maryland, giving weekly lessons to a studio of seven students and preparing them for seasonal recitals. These significant teaching opportunities are a direct reflection of Grace’s passion and dedication for music education and understanding of its impact on young musicians.
