Conservatory-trained Orchestral/Chamber Musician

Gregory T.

With 20 years of professional pedagogical and performing experience, I am excited to meet you and get to know your artistic goals and aspirations!

I am a member of Hartford Symphony, Portland Symphony, Cape Cod Symphony and the New Haven Symphony Orchestras, as well as an experienced chamber musician with over a decade of experience as a former member of the Haven String Quartet.

My students have been consistently represented in their All-State orchestras, and graduating seniors have been accepted into prestigious institutions such as the Eastman School of Music, New England Conservatory, the Hartt School and Ithaca College.

I hold a Master of Music degree in violin performance from New England Conservatory and a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music.

Teaching Style

Music and art are truly some of the great joys of life and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in them. I work together with each student on cultivating the joyful consistency found in visiting the laboratory of daily practice.

I teach violin and viola students of all ages and levels. For young students, my philosophy is rooted in the Suzuki method. I love finding new solutions for all students to be able to reach their fullest potential. In addition to private lessons, I also offer coaching for chamber ensembles of up to six musicians.
