Peijun Yu graduated from Juilliard and is pursuing her doctorate in violin performance from music from Rutgers University. She attended master-classes with the Shanghai String Quartets, Sherban Lupu, and Yfrah Neaman. Pei is a concertmaster for the National Youth Symphony Orchestra, won first place in the Melbourne International String Competition, and has performed in Sydney Opera Hall. She has taught violin for several years and enjoys using the Suzuki method because she feels that loving-encouragement and constant repetition are an important part of training a child to play an instrument, and she likes to blend Suzuki with other innovative teaching techniques.
