About

     Mariana Yern Corzo was born in Havana, Cuba in 1992. She started studying the violin at the age of eight, and piano at the age of nine, at the Alejandro García Caturla Music Conservatory. In 2007 she, along with her family, emigrated to the United States and continued to pursue music at the Miami Conservatory of Music in Coconut Grove, Florida. After high school, she was accepted into Florida International University’s School of Music and received her Bachelors in Violin Performance and Music Education in 2015. 

     Mariana recently completed and received her Masters in Music Education from F.I.U. Throughout her graduate career, she continued to study the violin under the tutelage of violinist Marcia Littley, who studied with Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School in Manhattan, New York. In 2015, Mariana won First Place in F.I.U.’s annual Concerto Competition and, accompanied by the university’s orchestra, played Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4 in D Major, under the direction of world-renowned Chilean conductor Maximiano Valdés. 

     An educator at heart, Mrs. Corzo loves to teach, but she is also passionate about performing. She plays violin at her home church’s praise band alongside her husband, Worship Pastor and educator Isaac Corzo, whom she married in 2015. Mariana and Isaac both live in Miami, and invite you to join them on Sundays at Gateway Baptist Church—where Mariana also gives her group music lessons!

Teaching Philosophy

     My Teaching Philosophy is to kindle in my students a love for music and learning that will take them where they wish to go in life. I believe that talent, effort, and perseverance all play a part in the success of students in music, but I consider perseverance to be the most determining factor. Therefore, I strive to foster, in my students, solid practice habits, determination, and the continual enjoyment of music, which will allow them to persevere through the challenges of learning an instrument, and thereby become great musicians.
