Teaching Philosophy: “Practice makes perfect. Don’t easily give up when you meet obstacles, because you are one step closer to success.”

Biography: Violinist Kun Shao began her violin study at an early age and is a successful solo, chamber, and orchestra musician. Born in Beijing, China, Dr. Shao graduated with honors from Renmin University of China with her Bachelor's degree in 2008.  From 2009 to 2011 she was a teaching assistant at Georgia State University, where she pursued her Master's degree under Christo Galileas. In 2017, Dr. Shao received her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in violin performance from Boston University, where she studied with Dana Mazurkovich.

As the winner of the Brumby Concerto Competition, Dr. Shao has performed at concerts in both the US and China. In 2007, she was chosen to represent Renmin University of China to perform a series of concerts at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma.

In the summer of 2011, Dr. Shao was awarded a fellowship to participate in the Aspen Music Festival, where she studied with Naoko Tanaka. As an orchestra violist, Dr. Shao has worked with many orchestras in China, like the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra, China National Opera House Symphony Orchestra, and so forth. Dr. Shao also performs with many orchestras in the New England area, including the Parkway Concert Orchestra in Norwood as a concertmaster, the New Hampshire Symphony Orchestra, the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, and the Indian Hill Orchestra as a sectional violinist.

Dr. Shao enjoys teaching in her spare time. She has taught in Massachusetts, including the Note-worthy Experiences studio in Sudbury and the Chung Wah Academy in Boston. She also coached chamber music at Boston University for non-major students. She teaches lessons in English and Chinese. She has been teaching since 2008 and has been with Note-worthy Experiences since September 2016. 

When Dr. Shao is not playing her violin, she enjoys cooking various foods from all over the world. Now she is living in Medford, Massachusetts with her beloved husband and children.

Learn more about Kun in her Teacher Feature. 
I wanted to share with you. How amazing Kun was with Saleem last week. When she arrived Saleem was tired and didn't want to do anything. She must have magical powers. Because at the end of the lesson Saleem was happy, motivated and was practicing all week on his own.
​
Thank you both,
- Nadine from Lexington
