Private Lessons & Coaches in Bloomfield Hills, MI

I am a Detroit Symphony Orchestra violinist and an experienced teacher for serious intermediate, advanced, and adult violinists. My strength is helping students solve specific technical and musical problems and build stronger performance ability. Lessons are goal-driven and based on real professional experience: we identify the target, diagnose the obstacles, and build a clear training strategy for auditions, competitions, exams, orchestral excerpts, and professional orchestra preparation.

"I very much enjoyed my time studying with Hongyi Mo in Ann Arbor and improved greatly under him. One of the best things he taught me was to hear as he hears; this has unlocked many improvements in both my intonation and technique, and pushed me much further than I expected. He's been patient as I've reached for the upper end of repertoire, recently performing Nel Cor, helped me experiment with melding my career in software engineering with my passion for violin, and given advice as I started as a board member of the Artaria String Quartet. I highly recommend Mo to any student willing to put in the time to improve in their craft.

She understands how to play, and she’s even talking about getting more serious and joining junior tournaments. The lessons have been a fantastic experience for her.
