Dr. Lynn Kuo

As an educator, I coach motivated, advanced violinists from all around the world. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than helping passionate violinists achieve their musical goals and succeed as musicians.

As a violinist, I have spent 24 years as Assistant Concertmaster of the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra and have accumulated decades' worth of performances around the globe.

First Associate Concertmaster, Los Angeles Philharmonic

Lynn Kuo, right now is just killing it!

She ran her own program and is quickly expanding that to reach even more people.

I learn new things now when I watch her Instagram posts and videos, but she has really made it her own and I now, in turn, can learn from what she's posting and I can refer people to what she is doing and I certainly have referred people to her program.

I won Principal 2nd Violin for the Santa Cruz Symphony!

Working with Lynn has made a difference and I’m excited

- I won Principal 2nd Violin for the Santa Cruz Symphony!

Dr. Lynn has improved my handle on the crucial mental game behind auditions. Her visualizations, performance anxiety course material, and one-on-one coaching have increased my confidence in both the preparation and execution of the modern-day orchestral audition.

I'm grateful for her involvement and encouragement in my journey.

I was preparing for City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra audition... and was offered the job!

It's exciting. You've been incredible, so thank you!

I wouldn't be where I am now. I'm a much better player than I was!

Yes, I want to WIN my next audition too!

Jacqui Miles

Violinist, English National Opera & Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

United Kingdom

The pandemic had turned my orchestral life upside-down. I was struggling for direction and focus until I studied with Dr. Lynn. Now, I am able to perform with confidence and enjoyment.It has been an incredibly positive experience musically, technically & violinistically.

Amateur Violinist & Violin Maker

I've been privileged to study with many great teachers, including a student of Ysaÿe, two different concertmasters of the Toronto Symphony, and many wonderful internationally-known chamber musicians.

But in my book, Lynn is top-notch!

She can meet you no matter where you are in your technical and musical education and development, professional or amateur, and get you to that next level.

Diane Cohen

Teacher & Assistant Principal Violinist, Memphis Symphony Orchestra

United States

Dr. Lynn is not only a great violinist who is extremely knowledgeable with all musical styles, but she also clearly puts a lot of thought into her teaching! She has helped me improve my musical phrasing and add more drama to my playing.
