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. In 2020, she had the honor of premiering her brother Grant Steinweg’s composition “Star Breather” for violin and piano. 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. 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.

She is currently pursuing her DMA in violin performance at Arizona State University as a student of Danwen Jiang. Having received her Master of Music degree from Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and Bachelor of Music from Andrews University as a Dare to Dream Scholarship recipient and J.N. Andrews Honors Scholar, she has also been privileged to study with Kurt Sassmannshaus and Carla Trynchuk.

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

“My daughter was fortunate to have Tiffany as her violin instructor, who inherited us from another teacher. My daughter's previous instructors hadn't given much focus to technique, so there were important basics missing. After Tiffany's instruction (which was careful, thoughtful, and precise), her technique improved so much that she was able to play challenging songs and play them beautifully. Our time with Tiffany was truly a gift, and I recommend her highly to anyone who wants to play the violin beautifully”
