Hemmings ’24 Pursues M.M. in String Studies at NYU Steinhardt

Violinist Ethan Hemmings ’24 (Bachelor of Music in Music Production & Recording Technology) will pursue a Master of Music in String Studies at NYU Steinhardt beginning this fall where he will study under Giora Schmidt and Melissa White.

“Thank you Dr. Takayama and Ellen Jewett for helping me prepare,” said Hemmings. “I am also grateful for the tutelage of Kevin Zhu and Stella Chen from the generous involvement of Dr. Ueno as a result of the launch of the Ryuji Ueno Institute for Mind & Music Experience.”

Hemmings studied violin with Victor Brown Endowed Chair in Violin and Professor of Violin Akemi Takayama, D.M.A., and Adjunct Associate Professor of Violin Ellen Jewett during his undergraduate program at Shenandoah Conservatory.
