CAROLYN CLINE

Carolyn is a multi-stylistic musician, songwriter, pianist and violinist with over 8 years of teaching experience.

Carolyn's passion for piano began at an early age, when she eagerly begged her parents for lessons at just seven years old. By 11, she landed her first accompanying gig, showcasing her natural talent. At nine, her love for music expanded to the violin, where she quickly advanced through orchestra ranks, earning a spot as a first violinist by her sophomore year of high school. Carolyn went on to graduate from Capital University with a degree in music, studying piano under the renowned Dr. Tianshu Wang, along with other esteemed mentors.

As a private music instructor, Carolyn understands each student has different goals, abilities, and talents. She enjoys incorporating pieces and activities into the lessons that the students would prefer while still setting a standard for music theory, ear training, and proper technique.

She understands learning an instrument is a long and challenging process, and is there to help her students utilize however much time they can offer towards their instrument while maintaining their enjoyment.

*Carolyn is currently accepting both piano and violin students of all ages.
