I’d love to help students of any experience improve their violin/viola abilities! We can tune the lesson towards their preference, whether orchestral or solo focused. I offer my vast solo and orchestral experience at a low price and have helped local students in the Phoenix area successfully audition for regional orchestra and the Phoenix Youth Symphony orchestras. I try to make lessons fun and engaging, and foster an encouraging and productive environment.

I met Alex Gong five years ago through the Phoenix Youth Symphony. His viola playing has always been exceptional, and he always notices the details when playing pieces in both the orchestra and in solos. He is an extremely detail-oriented person, and I have witnessed him leading viola sectionals for our orchestra with grace and poise. He is extremely friendly and gets along with everyone with ease. I play the harp, and before rehearsal, he has had the opportunity to help me figure out some tough rhythms despite how different our instruments are, which I have greatly appreciated. I strongly recommend Alex as a viola teacher.
I am pleased to offer my strongest recommendation for Alex as a viola instructor on Superprof.
As a high school senior, Alex has already distinguished himself as one of the top young violists in Arizona. He has trained under an exceptional viola teacher, receiving rigorous musical guidance that is evident in both his technical mastery and musical maturity. His playing reflects not only advanced skill, but also a deep understanding of interpretation, tone, and expression.
Beyond his performance ability, what truly sets Alex apart is his natural gift for teaching. He has a clear and structured way of explaining concepts, making even complex techniques accessible to beginners. His patience, focus, and thoughtful communication allow students to feel comfortable while making steady progress. He approaches teaching with both discipline and encouragement, which is a rare and valuable combination.
In addition, Alex demonstrates strong character—he is responsible, organized, and genuinely committed to helping others succeed. His clarity of mind and depth of knowledge enable him to adapt lessons to each student’s level and goals, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience.
I am confident that he will be an outstanding instructor and a positive influence on any student he works with. I highly recommend him without reservation.I am really glad to recommend Alex as a viola instructor. As Alex’s dad, I see firsthand how he mastered the viola and became the best high school violist in Arizona. Alex learned from the best viola teacher in Arizona and has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience on what to learn and how to learn to become the best upper string instruments performer. One of Alex’s biggest strengths is that he can pass the information in a clear and organized fashion, so the students can truly understand.
I am one of Alex's peers, and I have had the chance to see him act as both a leader and mentor to multiple students. Having won prestigious competitions and performing in professional orchestras, Alex is an incredibly skilled musician who uses that expertise to easily communicate complex ideas.
Working with him is inspiring, and I've seen how dedicated he is to ensuring all of his peers grow and can succeed in music. His talent, leadership, and commitment to those around him make Alex an amazing teacher and tutor.Such a great violist and teacher. As principal of Arizona All State, he really knows how to navigate the instrument and a large variety of music. If you need a professional's help, Mr. Gong is the way to go. He has helped correct wrong notes in my concerto and provided valuable musical feedback!
