Lessons

Lessons are taught by Dr. Christopher Ciampoli, a faculty member at the Peabody Institute and Towson University. Whether a student is just beginning or has years of experience, private instruction is tailored to support meaningful artistic, intellectual, and emotional growth.

  • I teach violin, piano, and composition.

  • My teaching is shaped by sensitive listening and emotional attunement for how each student learns over time. For more detail, please see Teaching Philosophy.

  • The studio includes students of many ages and levels, from beginners exploring music for the first time, adults returning to music later in life, to advanced students seeking depth and long-term growth.

  • I teach both in person from my private studio in Towson, Maryland, and online, depending on a student’s needs and location.
