Justine's Music Studio

Welcome to my studio! I have worked with students ranging from young beginners as early as age four to advanced conservatory-level musicians. In my lessons, we focus on musicianship, technique, and effective practice strategies, with the goal of making every session both enjoyable and rewarding. I design lesson plans tailored to each student’s age, experience, and goals, recognizing that no two learners are alike.

I am a professional violinist with over 20 years of experience. I earned my Master’s degree in Violin Performance and Pedagogy from the Chicago College of Performing Arts and a Post-Master’s Certificate from DePaul University. Currently, I perform with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago as well as the Elgin, Northbrook, and Peoria Symphony Orchestras. In the summers, I have performed with the National Repertory Orchestra and the Chautauqua Music Festival Symphony Orchestra. Equally passionate about education, I also serve as a teaching artist with Apollo’s Fire’s Side by Side Program in Matteson, IL.
