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.
"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.

I'm a passionate violin instructor with several years of experience helping students grow into confident, expressive musicians. My teaching blends a strong classical foundation with modern techniques, creating a fun and focused environment tailored to each student’s goals. I use the Essential Elements book for beginners and work with intermediate and advanced players on pieces they choose—whether for auditions, performances, or personal enjoyment. In addition to teaching, I'm a professional performer with the San Antonio Philharmonic and regularly play for events such as weddings, funerals, and private functions. My active performance career keeps my teaching fresh, relevant, and connected to real-world musicianship.
"What I like most about Amy's studio is her style of teaching. She is a lovely combination of extremely kind and patient but also technically exacting. I have made such huge strides in my playing. She is absolutely the best violin teacher I've ever had. If you are serious about the violin or viola, Ms. Pikler is the teacher for you.
