Tiffany Steinweg, Violin

Violinist Tiffany Steinweg is a passionate and compassionate performer, teacher, and arts advocate. Whether recording original string duo arrangements with her brother, helping a young violin student fix his bow hold, or leading her university’s music association in a discussion of potential outreach ideas, she strives to bring a sense of mission, service, and adventure into every aspect of her career.

As a soloist, she is celebrated for her silky tone and moving expression. Most recently, she had the honor of premiering her brother Grant Steinweg’s composition “Star Breather” in her senior violin recital. Previously, she was selected as a winner of the 2017 Andrews University Young Artist Competition and has performed in masterclasses with Janet Sung, Mitch Newman, and Victor Yampolsky.

Tiffany discovered her niche for teaching as a volunteer violin instructor at Peace Music Academy in Khon Kaen, Thailand where she spent 11 months working with over 30 students at Peace Music Academy. Since returning to the U.S., she has enjoyed investing in a small private studio and several Suzuki Teacher Training courses with Sherry Cadow and Joanne Melvin. Having begun her own violin journey as a Suzuki student, she now finds delight in facilitating this experience for others.

She is currently a Master of Music candidate at Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and a student of Kurt Sassmannsshaus. Prior to graduating from Andrews University as a Dare to Dream Scholarship recipient and J.N. Andrews Honors Scholar, she studied under Carla Trynchuk and completed a BMus degree in Violin Performance with a minor in Behavioral Sciences.

Originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Tiffany may be found climbing mountains in the summers or busking at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, OR.
