Brian White has been playing the violin since he was 4 years old. At 12, he was performing in the celebrated Festival Orchestra at the Aspen Music Festival and School, and attending Juilliard’s Pre-College Program. And at 15, he won First Prize in the New York Music Competition, and played Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in Carnegie Hall. He has always known it would be his life’s work to study music. He didn’t realize at first, however, that his never ending quest for musical knowledge would inevitably lead to educating others. “What do you do?” “Oh, Juilliard, that’s the best music school in the world, right?” and “Can you play The Devil Went Down to Georgia?” are only a few of the many questions he has constantly been asked when holding his violin case, which in turn makes him question why he plays. He has been to some of the best international summer music festivals, and gone to the top music schools in New York City and London. Aside from being given a hard time with security in airports and overhead compartments on planes, was it all just to say he is better than everyone else? He has wondered this over the years, but finally decided that the purpose to all the illustrious education and experiences is to share it with others. Brian believes that music is not only a beautiful thing, but one that is accessible to anyone; not only is it heard, but also read, felt, and, by some, even seen. By extension, he insists that all students, regardless of impairment or learning disability, be given the opportunity to learn.
