Meet Iris

Iris Lin holds a Master of Music in Violin Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Music from the Cologne University of Music in Germany. Trained across Taiwan, Germany, and the United States, she brings an international standard to every lesson she teaches — and she is certified in the Suzuki Method for violin.

She has taught piano for seven years — from a child's very first lesson through advanced repertoire — earning a 5.0 rating across 31 reviews, most from piano families. And she still performs professionally today, as principal second violin with City Ballet of San Diego and in Moonlight Amphitheatre productions in Vista.

Students learn correct technique from the start, and students who picked up bad habits elsewhere get them carefully fixed — so that what they learn lasts.
