Mia Smith

Mia Smith (she/her) received a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Mannes School of Music at the New School and is now pursuing a Master of Music in Violin Performance at the DePaul School of Music, as well as currently teaching Violin at Music house. While still a student, Mia has a great interest in not just performing in orchestral settings, but sharing her passion for violin with eager violin students through teaching. Having started as a 6-year-old herself, she loves bringing children into the world of music, being such a fantastic medium of expression and art. She believes that so much can be learned through the mastery of an instrument; along with the technical abilities, one learns how to be disciplined, emotional, creative, expressive, ambitious, manage time, and so much more. It can teach how to be a good human being. Having taken training for meditation teaching in the past, Mia is a strong believer of strengthening the mind, something that goes hand in hand with musicianship. She is so excited to take all her past training and experiences to open the doors of musicianship to today’s youth.
