Horizon Music Studio was founded by Jessica Chen, with the dream of sharing the joy of learning and making music with the next generation. At Horizon Music Studio, the unique interests and background of each student are viewed as an asset and incorporated into their musical journey. Students of all ages and levels learn to develop strong technique and musicianship skills, ultimately to perform with expression and confidence. Through music education, students learn to develop character, drawing inspiration from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s idea of: “beautiful tone, beautiful heart”.
About The Suzuki Method
At the heart of the Suzuki Method are the core beliefs that music education serves as a powerful vehicle for character development, and that every child has the ability to develop musical ability. Also called the “mother-tongue method”, Dr. Suzuki’s innovative approach to music learning follows the steps of language acquisition: listening, speaking (playing), and then reading. In the Suzuki Method, learning music is a family experience through the ‘Suzuki Triangle’ partnership between teacher, parents, and student.
At Horizon Music Studio, the Suzuki Method is recommended for young students and beginners of all ages. Principles of the Suzuki Method are incorporated alongside other music pedagogies at all levels of instruction. To learn more about the Suzuki Method, please visit the SAA website.

“Jessica is an exceptional violin teacher. She is patient, encouraging, and has a great ability to work with students at different levels while helping each one grow. My daughter has made great progress through her lessons and genuinely looks forward to each class. She always tells me how much fun it is to go.
The recent recital was beautifully organized and showed how much care she puts into her students. Jessica was also incredibly thoughtful in reaching out to me ahead of time about the reception so my daughter could feel included despite dietary restrictions. That kind of consideration is rare and meant so much to me and our family. We feel very lucky to be part of her studio and would wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Jessica to other families!” -D, Parent
