Instruments:
I have been a musician since I can remember. My parents and brother are all musicians, and between the four of us we play violin, clarinet, piano, guitar, organ, harmonica, banjo, trombone and even ukelele. I have participated in marching band playing clarinet and mallets including xylophone. I also enjoy singing and have participated in choirs and other ensembles. My goal as a music teacher has been to provide music to as many people as possible. One of the greatest joys in my life is to see the music "light" turn on in my student's eyes when they start understanding and enjoying what music has to offer.
Instruments:
I started learning the violin with a private tutor when I was 12 years old and then subsequently continued my instruction at the Tehran Conservatory of Music's nightly program. I ultimately completed my undergraduate studies in music at the University of Tehran with a Bachelor's degree in musicology, while I was simultaneously pursuing advanced studies in the violin with the goal of becoming a virtuoso. During this period I also started to work with media as the producer of classical music programs for radio and television. When I began my Master's degree in composition at the University of New Mexico, I concurrently worked as a private tutor for violin, music theory, and composition. I ultimately proceeded with my doctoral work in composition, first at UCLA, where I won two composition competitions in two consecutive years, and then completed at Claremont Graduate University, where I was awarded a DMA degree in composition. My life during all these years has been devoted to music as a instructor of the violin, composition, and music theory while also composing music for myself.
Instruments:
My name is Annie Hoffman and I was born with an indescribable passion for music that I long to share with others who have a strong desire to learn! I have been playing violin for 14 years performing in the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra from 2000-2009 and then continuing onto Azusa Pacific University Symphony Orchestra, various chamber string ensembles, as well as playing in the Azusa Pacific University Choir and Orchestra Ensemble. In college I also studied piano, voice, and dabbled in organ and guitar.
Instruments:
I have loved music since the beginning. Growing up in a musical family allowed me to learn various music skills even before starting an instrument. Throughout junior high and high school I auditioned for and joined the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra in Orange County, California as well as various annual honor orchestras throughout the sate of California. In 2003, I became concert mistress of Vanguard University's Concert Orchestra for 5 years and performed solo and ensemble works as the first violinist during that time, as well as touring China and South Korea to perform as principle violinist with Vanguard University. Since then, I have had the opportunity to play with various orchestras including the Orange County Symphony.
Instruments:
I began playing violin, taking private lessons, at the age of four years and trained under the Suzuki method. At age five, I began participating in the National Federation of Music Clubs and received Superior ratings for thirteen consecutive years; in the year 2008, I received the President’s Festival Cup under the National Federation of Music. I also began performing with the Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra (CKYO) at age seven and participated in three European tours with CKYO, serving as their concert master for the Spain and Portugal tour in 2008. Moreover I was CKYO’s concerto competition winner and soloist in the years of 2003 and 2008. I began college at the University of Kentucky, receiving a full scholarship for music. I had many great opportunities with the UK Symphonic Orchestra including performances at the Kennedy Center in DC, Carnegie Hall in New York City, and alongside world renowned violinists Gil Shaham, Sarah Chang, and Itzhak Perlman. I transferred to the University of San Diego to further my studies in music as well as psychology. As a student at USD, I had the fortune to perform as a soloist alongside the Greater San Diego Music Coterie.
