About Me

Welcome to the Suzuki Violin Studio of Gabriel Solomon. I teach Suzuki violin lessons and group classes and coach small ensembles and musical groups. I am currently seeking families to join my Suzuki Studio in Woburn/Lexington, MA. New lessons and group classes will begin in September. To learn more about my teaching or to schedule an observation, please contact me.

My goal is for each child to have the best possible experience of music. I aim to provide each individual with a keen sense of musicianship, excellent technical skills, a deep understanding of the beauty of musical tone, and a means to self-expression and personal excellence.

I began the study of the violin at age three. As a kid, I loved the beauty and brilliance of music. I remember being enchanted by the haunting and beautiful sounds of Vivaldi concertos and Handel violin sonatas. I also studied the piano and the trumpet, and took up the viola as a teenager for a life-changing european orchestral tour. I played or sang in every ensemble that I could, and I loved the intensity of playing music with others. Since then, I have worked intensively in string quartets, new music ensembles, orchestras, and more recently in jazz and improvisational ensembles.

I love teaching kids to discover the qualities of music that affect me so deeply and mean so much to me, from the smallest detail of technique to the broadest significance of expression. To learn the meaning of music is a gift that was given to me, and I am compelled to pass it on to children, who can appreciate music better than anyone in some ways. I want my students to discover the tone of the violin and how beautiful it is. I want to show my students that you can have more fun and find satisfaction by playing. Most of all, I want to teach kids the kinds of experiences they can have by themselves and with other people through making music.
