Carolyn Cline is a pianist, violinist, performer and educator from Columbus, Ohio. Carolyn began her practice and performances at a young age. She graduated from Capital University with a music degree studying under world renown names such as Dr. Tianshu Wang, Seymour Fink, and Mark Flugge. She has performed and recorded with groups such as the Columbus Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Capital Symphonic Winds and Boston Brass, while accompanying and performing with various professionals in the greater Columbus area.  Carolyn has also performed internationally in New Zealand and Japan.

Carolyn believes a successful teacher has patience, empathy, enjoyment, and encouragement. She understands each student is different with different needs and desires. She incorporates pieces and activities into the lessons that the students would prefer while still setting a standard for theory, ear training, and technique. She understands learning an instrument is a long and difficult process, and is there to help her students utilize however much time they can offer towards their instrument while maintaining their enjoyment.
