Multi-Genre Musician — Performer — Educator

A native of Bowling Green, OH, Gina Buzzelli is a freelance musician based in Los Angeles. An avid educator, she is a Violin Teaching Artist with the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles. Additionally, she maintains her own private studio and provides assistance for the local public schools. Gina performs with various regional orchestras and relishes any opportunity to play in a pit orchestra for musicals and operas. Gina has experience in multiple genres as well and is always open to new, innovative musical experiences.

My daughter is quite shy, but Ms. Buzzelli works with her very patiently and kindly. I always appreciate her understanding of my daughter’s quietness and the encouragement she gives her to be more confident and to be her best. We love her teaching style, her passion and her kindness and are so thankful to have found her.

Gina is a gem of a person and it has been a pleasure to work with her! What I love about Gina is her ability to perform and interpret a variety of styles on violin with great taste and virtuosic playing. If you ever need a great violinist with a great personality, I would highly recommend this wonderful musician!

I think that knowing what went wrong and how to fix it is a really important skill to have as a musician; Ms. Buzzelli’s teaching method really helps me prepare myself to take on musical challenges outside of class. Her passion and love for music really come through when she is teaching.

Gina has been an excellent instructor who has taken my playing to another level. By taking private lessons with her every week I have been able to improve both my skills and passion for the violin. She understands how to work with the student and do what is best for your learning!
