Lila Reeser, Violin & Viola

Lila Reeser is a violist and composer from Parrish, Florida. She began playing at the age of 9 and continued throughout school, with involvement in multiple ensembles around the area.

She received her Bachelor’s of Music in Music Composition and Music Theory from Florida State University where she studied under dr. Pamela Ryan. During her time there, she was heavily involved in orchestra, multiple chamber groups, as well as being a founding member of Florida State University’s New Music Ensemble, Polymorphia. Lila is a strong proponent of new music and loves composing for viola.

Prior to starting her masters at the University of Cincinnati, she worked with the Sarasota Youth Orchestra. Here, she worked with children and enjoyed watching the progress they made every rehearsal and being able to support them in their growth as young musicians.

Lila is currently studying with Dr. Catherine Lees at CCM while she finishes her Master’s Degree in viola performance. She has experience teaching both private lessons and group sectionals. She is looking forward to expanding her studio of violinists, violists, and early composers and to creating a safe environment that inspires students to have fun while learning new skills. In addition to music, Lila enjoys exploring Cincinnati and petting any dogs she can.
