(2023). Angela Solis is a violin and viola teacher with more that 15 years of experience. She started her music studies in Spain, where she finished her Bachelor Degree in music in 2004 and where most of her performance and teaching experience was forged between the classical, contemporary and regional styles. Her experience in performance includes playing in several orchestras, ensembles, recording studios and as the lead singer and founder of her band “Costellas.”

Her teaching experience was also broadened when she decided to attend multiple Suzuki and Rolland method workshops in Spain and set off traveling around Asia, where Angela also worked as a Violin and Viola teacher and came in contact with the ABSRM system. Since then Angela has become a Suzuki trained teacher (Book 6) in the USA while taking some psychology classes from the SF college.

One of her greatest professional achievements was to obtain the Viola teacher position in the state music system in Spain. It is a hard process that can take years and where one has to prove a high level in performance, teaching skills and instrument related knowledge.
