Cody Conley Violin Teacher
About
I enjoy working with students of all ages and skill levels! I have experience both as a teacher and as a chamber music coach. Having had the privilege of studying with some of the most legendary violinists, including Pinchas Zukerman, Shlomo Mintz, and Benjamin Beilman, I bring a wide range of styles and pedagogical methods to my teaching. My goal is to help students develop their ear, technique, musicality, and the ability to practice efficiently and solve problems independently. Every student is unique and deserves an individualized approach. I look forward to working with you!
