Jared Kauk, Owner

A dedicated violist, Jared Kauk was active in multiple spheres of the Bay Area music scene before relocating to Vancouver, WA in 2019. He graduated with his Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance from SJSU under the instruction of Paul Ehrlich, and has since been freelancing for local orchestras while teaching multiple instruments for the flourishing Sustained Music School. As a composer, he writes and records string arrangements for local bands, and co-writes folk-rock songs with Shiloh Kauk as Bird and Willow and experimental dream pop with Starover Blue.

Jared has been teaching since 2011. Hundreds of musicians of all ages have grown through their weekly with him. He is dedicated to an engaging learning experience that is tailored to the student’s musical goals. Jared believes learning should be challenging and fun, and that students will be more successful if they get to play music they enjoy.
