Business Details
I am an award winner of international competitions, a soloist in concerts, and a recording artist, with 15 years of private teaching experience. I provide instruction in violin, viola, and music theory, and I enjoy teaching students of all ages and skill levels, from children as young as 5 to adults.
My students have included individuals aged 5-80, with some going on to attend conservatories and others playing for personal enjoyment. My approach to teaching emphasizes developing excellent technique through repertoire, while also focusing on self-analysis to cultivate effective practice habits and accelerate mastery of the instrument.
American violinist Annelle K. Gregory is an award winner of international competitions, a concert soloist, and a recording artist. She won the 1st Prize and Audience Choice Award at the 2017 National Sphinx Competition and was a laureate of the 2013 Stradivarius International Violin Competition. In 2017, she released a CD featuring Rachmaninoff's complete violin and piano works, and in 2019, she released "Russian Music for Solo Violin and Orchestra". As a soloist, Annelle has performed with numerous symphonies, including those in Detroit, Chicago, and Houston, and has given performances at venues such as Carnegie Hall and abroad in several countries. Her education was guided by teachers including Michael and Irina Tseitlin, Glenn Dicterow, and Alexander Kirov.
