Jasper began studying the violin at the age of five and quickly developed a deep passion for music. Since then, he has been committed to his musical journey through weekly private lessons and regular participation in Suzuki Institutes, where he has refined both his technical skills and musical expression under the guidance of experienced instructors. His dedication extends beyond the classroom—Jasper is an active member of the Community Youth Orchestra of Southern California, where he performs regularly and collaborates with other talented young musicians. In addition to classical repertoire, Jasper also explores folk and traditional music as part of a local fiddle group, which performs at community events, seasonal festivals, and cultural gatherings throughout the region. Through these diverse experiences, Jasper has gained confidence on stage, built strong ensemble skills, and cultivated a deep appreciation for various musical styles.
