About/Bio 

My musical education started with fiddle lessons when I was 7, leading to classical violin when I was 12, and eventually a Bachelor's degree in viola performance, studying with Christine Vlajk at Wilfrid Laurier University.

I've been teaching since 2012, and have worked with a large number of students ranging from complete beginners to advanced-level musicians wishing to further progress in their musical knowledge. I teach all ages of students - ages 4 and up, including adults.

I encourage all my students to pursue learning music they are interested in, whether that is classical, fiddle/folk music, or improvisation-based styles like pop/rock/hip hop/blues. As a classically trained musician that deeply understands the technical side of physical movement and sound production involved in playing the violin and viola, I am able to impart a strong Suzuki-based technical foundation onto my students that effectively sets them up to be able to pursue whatever form of musical expression resonates with them the most.

Besides maintaining a busy private teaching schedule, I run a strings + piano music company, thefoxmusic.com, as well as my own solo violin-dedicated page, liamcalhounviolin.com
