Where Technique Meets Adaptation—Violin for Every Body

🎶 About the Studio

Welcome to Wang-Hiller Violin Studio, a home-based and fully accessible studio in Denton, Texas, led by violinist, educator, and advocate Amy Wang-Hiller.

As a doctoral candidate in violin performance and a disabled musician with over 15 years of teaching and performing experience, I bring a deep understanding of both conservatory-level artistry and the human body’s diverse needs. Whether you're a young beginner, a returning adult, or navigating unique physical or neurological challenges, your journey here is respected, supported, and celebrated.

I specialize in adaptive violin pedagogy—using innovative, personalized strategies to help students thrive, even when traditional methods fall short. This studio is more than a place to learn violin. It’s a space for building confidence, honoring individual differences, and making music in ways that truly fit you.

  • Adaptive Techniques for upper body weakness, injury recovery, or disability

  • Audition Coaching (All-State, youth orchestras, college prep)

💡 Studio Philosophy

“I don’t teach to a method. I teach to a person.”
– Amy Wang-Hiller

At the heart of my teaching is flexibility, empathy, and identity-affirming instruction. My own journey with progressive paralysis informs my practice—I teach with deep respect for neurodivergence, disability, and nontraditional pathways in music. Whether you play standing, seated, with adaptive gear, or alternative bow holds, we’ll find what works for you.
