"I had my first lesson with Kyle being a complete beginner and he was super friendly and thorough in explaining the rules of the game as well as etiquette for the game. He was also very encouraging and patient in his teaching style and I walked away from my first lesson with a lot of knowledge and beginner basics to feel confident to want to play more. I definitely recommend Kyle!

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.

"Hongyi first took time to carefully understand my background & goals.  Then he evaluated my playing and came up with a multi-pronged approach to improve my technique and skills.  This includes a slow vibrato exercise, a method to improve my relaxation during fast passages, detailed double stops work, a method to broaden my attention while playing in orchestra, and challenging sight-reading practice.  He also helped me understand the intricacies of bow evaluation so that when I do buy a new bow, I’ll be making an informed decision.  My vibrato has become much more controlled, allowing me to play a key passage much more beautifully.  I’m beginning to embody relaxation in my playing, which has improved my sound quality & significantly increased my stamina during fast passages.  And I’m starting to adopt key skills needed for successful orchestral playing.  Hongyi’s analogies and stories during lessons have helped difficult concepts sink in so that my practice is effective.  He shares his extensive real-world experience which helps me understand what is required and shift previously ingrained habits.

With a lifelong passion for football, I strive to unlock the potential in every player. I provide personalized guidance and foster skill development. My comprehensive approach inspires confidence on and off the field.
