Welcome!

I'm Travis Maril, Studio Artist Teacher of Viola and Head of Strings at San Diego State University and Viola Instructor at Point Loma Nazarene University.  I also enjoy writing about practicing the violin and viola.  

Here are some of my pre-college students' accomplishments:

  • Principal positions in the San Diego Youth Symphony
  • Participants at Itzhak Perlman's Music Program, Music Academy of the West and the Bowdoin International Music Festival
  • Accepted to The Juilliard School, New England Conservatory, and obtained scholarships to many prestigous colleges and universities

I am passionate about teaching the violin and viola in a manner that is fun and engaging, with the goal of getting students to play beautifully with physical freedom. 

I offer easy online scheduling that automatically reminds you of every lesson beforehand and lets you cancel lessons electronically.
