About Me

Tina is a double bassist and graduate student at Northwestern University, where she has developed a multifaceted career as a performer, educator, and mentor. A dedicated German bow player, Tina brings both technical precision and expressive depth to her work, shaped by her experiences navigating the challenges of limited access to high-quality instruments and financial barriers in classical music. As an educator, Tina is committed to fostering inclusive, student-centered learning environments where musicians feel empowered to explore their identities and take ownership of their growth. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes curiosity, resilience, and self-reflection, encouraging students to view setbacks not as failures but as opportunities for meaningful development. Drawing from her own journey, she is especially passionate about mentorship for non-male bassists and works to create spaces where historically underrepresented voices are supported and celebrated. Through both teaching and performance, Tina strives to build community, cultivate confidence, and inspire students to engage deeply with music as a lifelong, evolving practice.

Performing Experience:

I have extensive performance experience as a double bassist across a wide range of settings, including solo, chamber, and large ensemble work. My training at Northwestern University has allowed me to collaborate with high-level musicians while developing a strong sense of musical artistry, precision, and versatility. I am equally comfortable in orchestral and contemporary contexts, and I bring a thoughtful, expressive approach to every performance. Through these experiences, I’ve cultivated not only technical proficiency, but also a deep commitment to communication, collaboration, and engaging diverse audiences.
