Kaytlynn (Wood) Kopp has been studying both violin and piano since the

world-renown teachers. Her first violin teacher was Mr. Hui Wang, a

Kaytlynn transitioned to study with Ann Montzka-Smelser, international
performer and Suzuki method teacher, at Northern Illinois University
in DeKalb, Illinois. Kaytlynn’s first piano teacher was her mother,
