Mrs. Hallie Chandola

Hallie Chandola is a passionate and joyful teacher for music who understand the importance of early exposure to the beauty of music. In high school, after taking inspiration from a neighbor friend (and seeing how fabulous the flute looks while she’s playing it!) she joined the local high school band playing flute. Little did she know, it would be the start of a fabulous career. She graduated as a music performance major from Interlochen Arts Academy and afterwards went to Prague Conservatory and Czech Budweis Conservatory and performed with the Prague Film Orchestra under the direction of Jiri Korynta along with a solo career in the Czech Republic. She learned about the Suzuki Method in Europe, which led to becoming a teacher at Unison World School in Dehradun, India for the Flutes and Strings classes in grades 3-12. In 2012 she moved with her family to Tampa, FL, where she balances her performance career with her thriving private studio, as well as homeschooling and enjoying making music with her three young children. Since then, she has remained an active member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas and is constantly engaged in the Suzuki and Music Together communities and furthering education.
​​

Hallie’s Studio has nurtured many musicians to play music to a high standard from very young ages, all the way up through graduation. Many students have become accomplished musicians in All-State bands and orchestras, youth orchestras, and graduated to become majors in music at many acclaimed universities worldwide. However, the training of professionals is not the main aim: the emphasis throughout is on the development of the whole child, via education through music.
