violinist Hilary Hahn took her first lesson at the age of three. Using the Suzuki method until age five, she then undertook violin training with Klara Berkovich in Baltimore for the next five years. Her incredible aptitude was present very early in her training, and by the time she was just 10-years-old, she was enrolled in the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, studying with Jasha Brodsky. Although Hahn attended public school until she was nine, her academic education in all subjects was conducted at home until she turned 12-years-old. She was further home-schooled in mathematics until age 15. Studying

I have enjoyed the playing of violinist Hilary hahn since the times when she came to California to give concerts, and she was accompanied by her father. She is older now… married and a Mom… Hilary Hahn, began playing the violin one month before her fourth birthday in the Suzuki Program of Baltimore’s Peabody Institute. She participated in a Suzuki class for a year. Between 1984 and 1989 Hahn studied in Baltimore under Russian émigré Klara Berkovich. In 1990, at 10, Hahn was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where she became a student of Jascha Brodsky.

Hilary Hahn on the concertos and lessons she learnt from her two greatest teachers :) My favourite bits of the article: However, great arts teachers don’t teach only the one discipline; they urge you to live fully, to gain enriching experiences and interpret your own creative voice, believing that your art is as much what you bring to it as what you do with it … Now, at 35, I look back on my years with both Mrs. Berkovich (who turned 87 in May) and Mr. Brodsky and am overtaken with gratitude. Without those two strong, kind, driven role models, and without their lessons, I would have certainly turned out differently. That might sound like a cliché, but to me, it is a palpable reality. The legacy that influential arts teachers gift their students is the encouragement to simultaneously create, inspect different facets of ideas, acknowledge gut instincts, and weigh opposing […]

I highly recommend reading violinist Hilary Hahn’s Slate piece about her two favorite music teachers — Klara Berkovich & Jascha Brodsky. When Mr. Brodsky fell ill at 89, I visited him at a care center. Two nurses brought him to a large room, and he sat at a conference table. I assumed we were only there to chat, but I had my violin with me just in case. Sure enough, one of his first questions was, “Sweetheart, what did you bring to play for me today?” I reminded him of the repertoire I was working on, and he proceeded to give me a two-hour lesson. He leaned forward in his chair, singing examples, shaping my phrasing with interpretive gestures, and interrupting me to offer suggestions and corrections. For Mr. Brodsky, teaching was an unstoppable impulse. The teacher-student bond is an unshakable, mystical force.
