Violin/Viola
Elyssa seibel
My name is Elyssa, and I’m a passionate music educator with over 20 years of experience specializing in violin, viola, and music theory.
I began playing violin at the age of five as part of my homeschool education—music was a non-negotiable in our household, and I quickly grew to love it. That early foundation not only shaped my identity but also opened many doors for me, including the opportunity to attend college on a music scholarship.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Violin Performance from Samford University and have since had the privilege of performing with orchestras, chamber ensembles, and live bands across the country.
​
For the past 11 years (12 hot Texas summers!), I’ve called the Austin area home. I live here with my amazing husband, Adam, our two awesome kids, several cats, and our fluffy Great Pyrenees, Zeus.
​
When I’m not teaching, you can often find me behind the camera for my photography business, hunting wildflowers, gardening with my children, or enjoying a very large cup of coffee.
​
Some of the most meaningful moments in my life have come through music—both playing and teaching—and I’m thrilled to begin creating those kinds of memories with you and your family at the Liberty Hill School of Music.

​
In 1996, Charlie moved to Austin to immerse himself in the local music scene, where he spent over a decade performing and working on various band projects through 2007.

He has also contributed bass and guitar parts on multiple recording projects in Austin-area studios.
