Todd Ehle is a professor of violin at Del Mar College, a Junior College in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he has taught students of all ages and abilities for the past 12 years. Before arriving in TX, Mr. Ehle taught violin at the Wausau Conservatory of Music, a community music school located in Wausau, WI. Todd spent seven years studying with Professor Richard Fuchs at the University of Northern Colorado. Mr. Fuchs is a protege' of Paul Rolland (a Hungarian-Born violinist and formerly professor at the University of Illinois. Rolland authored 'The Teaching Of Action In String Playing' - much of which influences Todd's videos).
Todd spent four months working with William Starr, renowned Suzuki pedagogue and author of 'The Suzuki Violinist'. Following his work with Mr. Starr, Todd spent a year with Margery Aber, founder of the American Suzuki Institute in Stevens Point, WI.
Todd attended the Eastman School of Music (did not graduate) where he was a student of Catherine Tait, the Meadowmount School (student of Kevin Lawrence) and the Bowdoin Music Festival, where he studied with Lewis Kaplan. He was also a long-time student of both Harold Wippler (former concertmaster of the Denver Symphony and teacher of Eugene Fodor) and Ernest Papavasilion (former violinist with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, NYC). Todd would also like to give credit to his first violin teacher, Mrs. Pat Zick, who put up with him for so many years, and also taught him so much in the process!
***Possible interest to students of violin pedagogy (and TOO MUCH INFORMATION to others); Todd's teachers have a very interesting "family tree". As mentioned before, Fuchs was as student of Rolland, who studied with Imre Waldbauer. Waldbauer was a student of the great Hungarian violinist, Jeno Hubay.
Suzuki was a student of the German violin pedagogue, Karl Klingler. Klingler studied with the great Hungarian-born violinist Joseph Joachim (Brahms dedicated his violin concerto to Joachim).
Harold Wippler studied with Efram Zimbalist who was a pupil of the great Leopold Auer (also Hungarian, but the head of the famous 'Russian school' of violin and teacher of Heifetz, Elman and Milstein) and Todd's teacher, Ernest Papavasilion, was a pupil of Raphael Bronstein, also a pupil of Leopold Auer.
Tait, Lawrence and Kaplan all were students of Ivan Galamian (teacher of Perlman, Zuckerman, Chung and so many more) Galamian's violin family tree can be traced all the way back to both Vivaldi and Corelli.
