About Fusun

Fusun Alpakin, M.M.

Violin • Viola • Piano Instructor

Fusun Alpakin is a professional violinist, violist, pianist, and educator with more than four decades of teaching and performing experience in the United States, Europe, and Türkiye. She holds a Master of Music degree in Violin Performance from Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts and has dedicated her career to inspiring students of all ages to discover confidence, creativity, and lifelong joy through music.

Throughout her career, Fusun has taught violin, viola, piano, chamber music, and music theory to students ranging from three years old through adulthood, from complete beginners to advanced performers preparing for auditions, competitions, recitals, and college music programs. As a Suzuki-certified instructor, she believes every student can develop musical ability in a positive, encouraging, and structured learning environment.

In addition to private teaching, Fusun founded and served as Executive and Artistic Director of Southport Performing Arts Conservatory in Chicago for nearly two decades, where she developed innovative music, dance, and theatre programs while producing numerous concerts, musicals, festivals, and community arts events. She has also served as Director of the Music Department at the School of Performing Arts in Naperville. Fusun is the founder and the music director of the Artisan Hub School of Music.
She currently teaches as a Substitute Music Instructor at the Moravian Academy and at the Musik Makers Studio as a violin, piano and viola instructor in Pennsylvania.

Her professional performance career includes the Civic Orchestra of Chicago under the direction of Daniel Barenboim , the New Philharmonic Orchestra, and nearly a decade as Assistant Concertmistress of the Istanbul State Opera & Ballet Orchestra. These experiences continue to enrich her teaching by helping students develop strong technique, expressive musicianship, and professional performance skills.

Fusun is passionate about helping every student reach their individual potential while making music a meaningful part of everyday life. Whether a student dreams of performing professionally or simply wants to enjoy making music, she strives to create lessons that are engaging, encouraging, and tailored to each student’s unique goals and needs with 4 decades of teaching experience.

Perfect! Ms. Fusun takes great pride in working with her students. She accommodates busy schedules and plans effectively for classes. She is very patient with my 6 year old on violin while encouraging my older two to stay engaged and focused on piano. I highly recommend her.

What a difference a teacher makes! Our older daughter’s attitude towards lessons and practice changed drastically once we switched to Füsun hanim as our teacher. And I am amazed at how Füsun is able to keep my 3.5 year-old focusing on the lessons for 30 min! I didn’t think it was going to be possible. My little one sings the songs from their piano lessons to herself and even changes the pitch of her voice to match the notes 🥰. We couldn’t be happier.

Our little one has been taking violin lessons with Ms. Fusun for the past 4yrs and we have been absolutely thrilled with the results and growth of our little musician. We’ve added piano lessons this fall and the addition has been seamless with the violin lessons. We could not ask for a more caring and dedicated music teacher and it shows in the level of pride and confidence our daughter has when she performs at every recital. We definitely recommend for private lessons in violin and piano.
