She holds a Bachelors in Music Education from New York University, where she also studied voice with Ashley Huber. She has been performing for 18 years on the violin and viola across the Bay Area and the New York Metropolitan Area.
Ms. Huang believes every student learns differently, which informs her educational philosophy of creating a positive learning environment where students can freely discover their own musical voice while building a strong technical foundation. She tailors each lesson to students’ goals, fostering healthy practice habits and a self-motivated love of music.
Ms. Huang has extensive experience in classroom teaching, having worked with classes at the Manhattan Academy of Technology, the Trevor Day School, and Avenues: the World School in Manhattan, New York. By immersing herself in various classroom environments, Ms. Huang has developed a student-centered, flexible approach that supports learners with a wide range of backgrounds, abilities, and aspirations. She has experience in teaching a variety of different genres, including classical, pop, and rock. Ms. Huang strives to work with students to create music they enjoy, while furthering their technical skills to create lifelong musicians.

My goal is to get students excited about the violin. I approach lessons with enthusiasm, while being detail-oriented in fixing and developing a good knowledge of basic musicianship. I believe that music lessons should be tailored to fit the individual, and I aim to provide the best experience for each of my students. I aim to provide a very personalized experience, addressing the skills and fundamentals of every student. My teaching philosophy is that music should be fun and exciting to play and to practice, but that we should never neglect the fundamentals. We can go over anything you would like to play, whether that's pop, jazz, or classical. I will also assist students in picking any piece suitable for their level. I prepare extensive materials to help support my students, writing detailed notes and creating individualized exercises to support them in their learning journey. I am very accommodating of my students' schedules, especially online, and I am a quick and effective communicator! Reach out to me at any time.

Perfect! I wholeheartedly recommend Elissa as a private instructor for any beginner violin/viola student! Elissa started teaching my nine-year-old daughter the viola five months ago, and my daughter is already learning so much in a relatively short amount of time. Elissa makes learning the instrument fun for my kid, and explains concepts in a way that is relatable to her. She is a patient and kind teacher yet she provides constructive and valuable feedback so that my child can improve on her technique. I also appreciate that Elissa proactively touches base with me, as a parent, to let me know of my daughter’s homework, progress and areas of development. Finally, Elissa is reliable and flexible – two other qualities you’d want in a music teacher. All of that said, my child really looks forward to their weekend lessons together, and I am happy about that!
Perfect! Elissa is an encouraging and detail oriented teacher. She pushes me to try new pieces in a way that has really benefited my learning, while making sure to always reinforce basic skills like good posture and hand positioning.
Perfect! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Very easy to communicate with over text

Elissa is a great musician and a patient, helpful teacher who genuinely cares about her students. Her lessons are very well-planned, with a proper balance between technical exercises and etudes, musical learning, and repertoire development. She ensures a very supportive and inspiring atmosphere during the learning process of her students, enabling them to excel with confidence.
She is very good at explaining things, being supportive to her students, and helping them gain confidence while getting better at their skills. Her love for teaching, and care for her students shows in all she does.I took lessons with Elissa for a year and a half in high school. I had stopped playing violin for around 3 years and she was the teacher that helped me get back into it. She started by reigniting my passion for violin and found music that suited me and my playing level. She is always super patient and helps you with all the hard parts, and corrects every mistake you make. She made me realize how important fundamentals were, and improved my vibrato and playing style a lot.
