Meet your Instructor, Stephanie Bork

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Stephanie Bork came to the violin at a young age through a children's television show and has been playing ever since.

She received her Bachelor of Music degree in violin from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and a Master of Music degree from the University of Michigan. Her primary instructors have included Hai-Xin Wu, Piotr Milewski, and Aaron Berofsky.

Stephanie has been teaching students of all ages for nearly 20 years. Her students have received high marks at Solo and Ensemble, won seats in the region orchestra in their school district, and earned first chair seats in their school orchestras.

Stephanie's teaching is personalized to each student. She works with her students to identify strengths and weakness and give the student the tools he or she needs to practice effectively and efficiently at home. Her goal is not only to train up solid musicians, but to invest her students with the same love for music that she herself has!

Stephanie is also an active performer, and has performed with a number of symphony orchestras, including the Houston Symphony, the Houston Grand Opera, and the Houston Ballet, as well as the Toledo Symphony, the Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and the Ann Arbor Symphony. When she is not playing the violin Stephanie enjoys hiking, traveling, and trying out new recipes.
