Violin, Viola
Tony Collins has been playing violin since 2013. One day, while in his chorus class, they watched a film about this young boy who originally played piano but switched to violin because that was his true passion. That film was a life changer for Tony.
Through out his high school career tony would take lessons in violin & viola from some renown teachers. Tony had numerous amounts of out of school opportunities such as performing at the Woodruff Arts Center with the Ludwig string orchestra, Fulton county youth orchestra, Northside hospital, and at Walt Disney World where he was granted an opportunity to record an excerpt for the hit film " Frozen".
Tony currently does music gigs for weddings, festivals, music venues and more. Tony attended college at the Art institute of Atlanta where he received a bachelors degree in film. Tony wanted to start teaching from watching his mother teach music when he was a kid. He loves to introduce music to children in a fun energetic way. He aims to teach kids how to express themselves and how they feel through music while also knowing the importance of classical music and foundations.
Tony’s favorite genre of music to play is movie theme songs, jazz and R&B. His favorite classical artist is Brandenburg, Tchaikovsky, and music from the baroque era.
Tony would start off by teaching his students the basics foundations while going over songs from different genres to show how the violin is a classical instrument but it can be used for almost if not any genre of music. He believes that, with hard work and patience, anything can be achievable.
