Devin Marie Copfer

DEVIN COPFER   is a registered Suzuki teacher, performer, recording musician, and arts entrepreneur based in Columbus, OH.

Devin is committed to nurturing every student that comes to her studio. She follows Dr. Suzuki’s notion that truly, everyone can learn, that “any child has the possibility to be musically inclined,” as long as we grow a love of learning and creativity at home as well as in the studio. Through music lessons, we not only get to know our playing, but we get to know ourselves. We will encourage work ethic, responsibility to music and learning, engaging the immediate and extended family, the joy of hard work, and so much more. Here, we understand that success doesn’t come from outcome, but rather from our journey.

Devin is the co-founder, director, and violinist in Chamber Brews, a new music performance series committed to breaking down the fourth wall in classical concerts. She also serves as first violinist in Columbus’ Janus String Quartet.

Devin is currently serving as Assistant Concertmaster in the Newark Granville Symphony Orchestra, and as Concertmaster of the Worthington Chamber Orchestra. She has worked with The Columbus Jazz Orchestra and Maria Schneider, Helen Sung, Dr. Mark Lomax, BalletMet, Michael Bublé, The Trans Siberian Orchestra, and Disturbed.

Prominent Suzuki teachers and trainers have been Liesl Hook, Linda Stieg, Martha Shackford, Roger Stieg, Charles Krigbaum, and Daina Staggs.
