I'm a passionate violin instructor with several years of experience helping students grow into confident, expressive musicians. My teaching blends a strong classical foundation with modern techniques, creating a fun and focused environment tailored to each student’s goals. I use the Essential Elements book for beginners and work with intermediate and advanced players on pieces they choose—whether for auditions, performances, or personal enjoyment. In addition to teaching, I'm a professional performer with the San Antonio Philharmonic and regularly play for events such as weddings, funerals, and private functions. My active performance career keeps my teaching fresh, relevant, and connected to real-world musicianship.
"What I like most about Amy's studio is her style of teaching. She is a lovely combination of extremely kind and patient but also technically exacting. I have made such huge strides in my playing. She is absolutely the best violin teacher I've ever had. If you are serious about the violin or viola, Ms. Pikler is the teacher for you.



I have been running and lifting consistently for half my life and coaching Army soldiers for the last 5 years to improve their running speed and efficiency. Through my years of training and coaching I have developed an ever evolving style and mentality for training that I would like to use to help people achieve their goals and live healthier lives.
