Introduction to Mr. Middleton My name is John Middleton and I would like to introduce myself as the
Orchestra and Suzuki Strings teacher. I grew up with an excellent
public school orchestra experience in Wisconsin, and earned Bachelor
and Masters degrees from Northern Illinois University and the
University of Colorado. I am a violist in the Metropolitan Symphony
Orchestra and perform violin or viola in various groups in the Twin
Cities. Apart from my passion for fostering a lifelong love for great
music in my students, I like to ski, hike, canoe, and sail. My wife,
Jocelyn Kalajian is a musician and teaches chorus and voice at Century
College, and our daughter has studied violin for 9 years. This is my
seventh year of teaching at Capitol Hill, and I also teach strings at
Hancock Elementary School.
