Marcus Hsu, a 7-year-old student in 2nd grade at Doyle Elementary in San Diego, CA, embarked on his musical journey at the age of 4 under the guidance of Ms. Lilia Ulman at Greene Music Education Center. When he turned 5, Marcus began learning the violin from scratch through Zoom lessons with his teacher, Ms. Hui-Ting Hsu, who resides in New York. Despite never meeting her in person, Marcus has been able to learn and develop his violin skills through the power of internet technology. In 2022, Marcus became a member of the Debut Strings Class in the San Diego Youth Symphony, which is led by Ms. Lowri Casimiro. Apart from his love for the violin, Marcus also enjoys reading books, playing tennis, and collecting Pokemon cards.
