At Music Royale, we’re all about connecting musicians with the right teachers to help them grow, level up, and rock out on their instruments. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Aaron Pearson, our newest violin and viola instructor. Watch the full interview here!
Aaron isn’t just a musician, he’s a dedicated teacher who thrives on helping students discover their own sound, find confidence, and push through those “this is too hard” moments. Whether you’re brand new to strings or dusting off your bow after years away, Aaron is ready to meet you where you are and get you moving forward.
Aaron’s story started at the piano, but it was the viola that caught his attention back in sixth grade. Drawn to its deeper, richer sound and its size (a great fit for his tall frame), he was hooked. From middle school string orchestra to collegiate study, Aaron has been immersed in music ever since.
Along the way, he’s performed unforgettable pieces like Leslie Adams’ The Ecstasy of Love, a contemporary work that showcases the viola’s incredible range and rhythmic drive.
If the violin is fiery and bright, the viola is the underdog with range, depth, and versatility. Aaron describes it as “the best of both worlds,” capable of soaring high like a violin or blending low like a cello.
It’s a chameleon of sound—a perfect instrument for players who want flexibility and unique tone. And with Aaron as your guide, you’ll learn how to harness that power, whether you want to shred through classical repertoire, vibe with contemporary hits, or simply enjoy playing music at home.
Aaron believes in giving students space to discover their own “aha moments.” Instead of handing over every answer, he guides them to find solutions, building both skill and independence along the way.
“I really encourage students to come in with their own ideas—whether it’s a piece they’re dying to learn or a specific skill they’re excited to master. My job is to set them up for success and help them reach their goals.”
He welcomes students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to advanced players looking for refinement. If you love music, you belong in his studio.
Aaron also performs with the Columbus Cultural Orchestra, a unique ensemble that fuses R&B, hip-hop, and classical music into one powerful community sound. His commitment to both performance and education keeps his approach fresh, relevant, and connected to today’s music scene.
He continues to prepare for orchestral auditions, mentor younger chamber groups, and contribute to community outreach—all while building his teaching studio here at Music Royale.
Whether you’re picking up a bow for the first time or ready to push your playing to the next level, Aaron Pearson is here to help you unlock your potential.👉 Book your violin or viola lessons today at Music Royale and start your journey with Aaron.
