Lessons with Candice

Candice teaches violin and viola at her private studio in Tucson. Her students range from young beginners to career-driven high school and collegiate students. She encourages students of every age to nourish their relationship with their instrument through inquisitive yet deliberate practicing, exploring their own musical voice, and indulging in a healthy appetite for music of all kinds.

Candice has thirteen years of teaching experience. In addition to running her private teaching studio, she previously served as a visiting faculty member at the University of Arizona, where she taught a full roster of undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate viola students. She has also previously served on the faculties of the Aspen P.A.L.S. Music Education Program (Aspen, CO), International School of Music (Bethesda, MD), and Baltimore Symphony’s OrchKids program (Baltimore, MD).

Candice holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music and a Master of Music degree from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University. She received Suzuki Method training and certification at Buffalo Suzuki Strings, the Chicago Suzuki Institute, and the American Suzuki Institute at Stevens Point. She is a member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas and the Arizona Suzuki Association.
