Erin Boyette

Erin fell in love with the violin at age seven under the instruction of Natalie Colbert at E. Rivers Elementary School in Atlanta, GA. She studied violin through high school and college, and received a BA in Communications with a Minor in Music from Georgia State University.

After a lifelong study of the violin, Erin began to play the viola as a happy accident.  As an undergraduate student in college, Erin’s chamber music group needed a violist to play the Schubert Trout Quintet. Never one to turn down a challenge, Erin jumped right in and never looked back. She has played viola in addition to the violin ever since.

Erin has been teaching for for over twenty years. After completing her Suzuki training she ran a music teaching studio in Brooklyn, NY and also taught at the Turtle Bay Music School until its close. Erin is proud of her students teaching many from elementary school to college acceptance and beyond. Erin now teaches privately in the Ormewood park neighborhood in Atlanta, East Cobb / Roswell, and online. After a lifetime love of playing the violin, Erin is eager to share her knowledge of music. She is especially passionate about enabling young children to express themselves through music.

In addition to teaching, Erin has played with the Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra, the Mannes Community Orchestra in New York, NY, the Doctors Orchestral Society of New York, and the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra. Erin has played on albums for recording artists in Atlanta and NYC, and also composes and records her own original music.

Erin is an active member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas, the American String Teachers Association, and the Music Teachers National Association. She completed her first unit of Suzuki teacher training with Carrie Reuning-Hummel, and Unit 1 Revisited and 2 through 8 with Judy Bossuat-Gallic. Erin has also completed Suzuki in the Schools Level 1 training with Dr. Laurie Scott and Winifred Crock.
