About Me

Greetings, future violinist!

My name is Paul Lazarus, and I've been playing the violin for over 14 years.

During this journey I've had the honour of studying under many experienced violinists, most notably the respected pedagogue Joy Lee.

Although I have a master's degree in psychology and worked in mental health, my love for the violin eventually led me to switch careers. Today I am a full-time violinist, freelance composer, and writer.

I've performed at private events, weddings, and charity concerts — but what motivates me most is watching students move from one breakthrough to the next.
