Sandra Bouissou is a versatile and accomplished violinist and educator whose dedication spans solo, orchestral, and chamber music. Originally from California’s Bay Area, Sandra has been based in New York City for the past four years where she holds section violin positions in Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra, and is a regular substitute in the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. Sandra also currently subs on the Broadway show, Gypsy. She recently graduated from the Manhattan School of Music with a Master’s Degree in Violin Performance in the studio of Nicholas Mann and Lucie Robert (2023) and a Professional Studies Certificate (2024) in the studio of Lucie Robert.

Sandra's musical journey has taken stages across continents, with notable appearances at renowned festivals including the Aspen Music Festival, the International Summer Academy in Saltzburg’s Mozarteum, Fontainebleau’s School of the Arts Music Program, and Festival Napa Valley. Her Bachelor’s Degree in Violin Performance is from Chapman University where she was a Temianka Scholar and had the privilege of playing on the Temianka-Saparoff Violin. There, she studied with Bill Fitzpatrick and was the concertmaster of The Chapman Orchestra for her four years of undergraduate studies.

About the lesson

I am a huge proponent of teaching music as not only learning to play an instrument, but also a way to learn self-discipline, creativity, problem solving, focus and concentration, self-expression, and critical thinking. My pedagogical approach centers on fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity and personal growth. I tailor my teaching methods to match each student's unique learning style and aspirations. Over the past eight years, I have been instrumental in the teachings and development of violin students in both California’s Bay Area and New York City.
