About Tarek Abdulaziz

I am a classically trained violinist holding both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in violin performance, with formal education grounded in the Western classical tradition. My academic and artistic formation emphasizes rigorous technical training, stylistic integrity, and historically informed performance practice, developed through extensive solo, chamber, and orchestral experience.

I was raised in a professional musical environment of the highest caliber. My father served as a cello section leader in the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, and my mother is a German-trained, internationally acclaimed concert pianist. This lineage provided early immersion in advanced musicianship, orchestral discipline, and the pedagogical traditions of both the Russian and Central European classical schools.

In parallel with my performance career, I have developed substantial experience in music pedagogy and academic instruction, working with students at varying stages of technical and musical development. I have also cultivated professional expertise in music production, integrating contemporary approaches to sound, recording, and musical analysis into my broader artistic and educational practice.

My artistic and pedagogical approach is rooted in established classical methodologies, with particular emphasis on tone production, intonation, technical efficiency, posture, and stylistic clarity. I place strong importance on disciplined practice, analytical score study, and the development of interpretative awareness informed by historical and aesthetic context.

In teaching, I seek to foster both technical mastery and intellectual engagement with the music, encouraging students to develop independent musical judgment alongside a refined instrumental technique. My background in music production contributes to a comprehensive understanding of sound and musical structure, bridging traditional performance practice with contemporary technical awareness.
