About the Teachers

Hallie Chandola - Flute Specialist, Music Together®, Homeschool Music Classes, Owner

Hallie Chandola is a passionate and joyful music teacher who recognizes the profound impact early exposure to music can have on a child’s development. Her musical journey began in high school, inspired by a neighbor’s skillful flute playing and the instrument’s captivating charm. Joining the school band as a flutist, she discovered her lifelong calling.
 

Hallie graduated as a music performance major from the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy before furthering her studies at the Prague Conservatory and the Czech Budweis Conservatory. Her career flourished in the Czech Republic, where she performed as a soloist and with the Prague Film Orchestra under the baton of Jiri Korynta. During this time, she was introduced to the Suzuki Method, which would become central to her teaching philosophy.
 

Her teaching career took her to Unison World School in Dehradun, India, where she guided students in flute and strings from grades 3 to 12. In 2012, Hallie relocated with her family to Tampa, FL, where she balances a thriving performance career with managing her private music studio. In addition, she homeschools her three children and treasures the opportunity to make music with them.

Hallie Chandola is an active member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas and remains deeply involved in the Suzuki and Music Together communities. Her commitment to continuous learning ensures she stays at the forefront of music education.
 

As owner and teacher at Hallie's Studio, Hallie Chandola has cultivated a nurturing environment where young musicians thrive, from their first notes to their high school graduations. Many of her students have achieved distinction in All-State bands, youth orchestras, and music programs at acclaimed universities worldwide. However, the ultimate goal is not solely to train professional musicians. Instead, she focuses on fostering personal growth and development through the transformative power of music education.

"Ms. C as our daughter calls her has taught violin to our 6 years old for almost 2 years now. She's an excellent musician, but what's more important she is a wonderful teacher. She always has a way to get our daughter's attention and focus in a smart and sweet way. Ms. C is passionate and dedicated and truly has her students progress at heart. What a nice find!!"

"As a music instructor myself, I can very highly recommend Ms Hallie as an accomplished teacher. She is GREAT with kids, and wonderful for adults, too. We have to drive a bit further than I was initially planning, but she is totally worth the drive!! I'm so very glad that I found such a skilled instructor for both violin and flute!"

-Brenda, student and mother of Esther (Flute and Violin Students)
