There are an abundance of string teachers in the Chicagoland area, but few of them can boast having real teaching credentials. Not here - I actually have a music education degree. Not only do I know how to play the violin really well, I also have the teaching tools necessary to get my students to play the violin really well. When you choose a teacher with real credentials, you get farther, faster.

Joe DeAngelo Violin Lessons

Joe DeAngelo Violin Lessons

I first wanted to play the violin at age 5 after hearing Violin by They Might Be Giants, but I didn't start until age 7 after beginning piano lessons beforehand. I have since fallen in love with all things music and taken up countless other small stringed instruments in addition to the violin and piano. I play many styles - gypsy jazz, classical, rock, indie, you name it - and I enjoy listening to almost all other styles as well. My first album was released in 2014, a gypsy jazz record created by the DeAngelo Trio with guest artist Ira Coleman on bass. I have also played over 100 gigs with the DeAngelo Trio.
