Welcome to My Violin Studio
Hello! My name is Austin Charles-Marcel (I go by Mr. Austin with my young students). I love music and teaching what I have learned (and continue to learn) with my students. I specialize in teaching beginner to intermediate students, and I always try to provide an encouraging and positive learning environment.
My background is in music education (bachelor's degree and Maryland educator license), violin performance (master's degree), and orchestral conducting (performance certificate). I have taken Suzuki Method teacher training through to violin book 4.
Throughout my education journey, I have been privileged to perform as a soloist with the Montemorelos University Orchestra and the New England Youth Ensemble; perform as concertmaster with the New England Youth Ensemble, the University of Redlands Orchestra, and the La Sierra University Orchestra; and perform at Carnegie Hall with the New England Symphonic Ensemble on many occasions.


Since 2011, I have taught violin students in many settings, and I love helping them to develop their musical gifts and abilities while enriching their own lives and enhancing the lives of those around them.
I would love for us to explore how you can continue to grow musically!
