Jillian is a ninth grader and has been taking violin lessons since 5 years old. With dedicated practice over these years, Jillian has grown into a committed and expressive musician. She has enrolled in the large ensemble programs at the prestigious New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts, performing in the renowned orchestras alongside some of the most talented young musicians in the region.
Jillian has a deep desire to share her love of music with others. She serves as a teaching assistant for beginner violin students in her high school orchestra, patiently guiding younger learners through the early stages of an instrument she loves so deeply. It is a role that speaks to her maturity, her leadership, and her belief that music is something meant to be shared and passed on.
For Jillian, playing the violin is not simply a musical skill — it is a way of sharing and connecting with the world.
