Nadia Ghent earned her Bachelor and Masters of Music in Violin Performance from the Manhattan School of Music where her principal teachers were Carroll Glenn and Glenn Dicterow, Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic.  Ms. Ghent studied Suzuki pedagogy with Louise Behrend at the School for Strings in New York, completing Miss Behrend’s two-year long -term teacher training course in 1991.  After almost twenty years of freelancing in New York, performing with the Opera Orchestra of New York, American Ballet Theatre Orchestra, Brooklyn Philharmonic, and Queens Symphony, and teaching Suzuki violin at the Westchester Conservatory and the Garden State Conservatory of Music, she moved with her family to Irvine where she teaches privately in her home studio and in the elementary strings program in the Irvine Unified Public School District.  A second- generation violinist—Ms. Ghent’s mother was a student of Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay at Juilliard—Ms. Ghent spends much of her non-teaching time practicing with her family’s third generation of musicians, her son Alex, a Suzuki pianist, and her daughter Sara, a violist.
