Marscia Martinez-Mendoza

Violin & Viola Teacher

Born in Mexico City and emigrating to the United States in ’97, Marscia has always known from the young age of 6 that she wanted to have a voice in the arts. Marscia studied Music Education and Performance, Theater performance and Studio art at UNC Wilmington and Charlotte. As a strong advocate for the performing and fine arts, Marscia was involved in the theater and visual arts community of Wilmington, NC before moving to the Charlotte area.

Player of both the Violin and Viola since the age of 10, Marscia’s performance career began upon winning the 2011 Richard R. Deas Concerto Competition in Wilmington NC. Her career as a teacher began in 2013 and continued at UNCW’s community Music Academy from 2016 to 2018. Marscia was a member of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra from 2012-2018 and the Tallis Chamber Orchestra as an ensemble member and featured soloist in Wilmington from 2011-2018. Marscia has also been performing with the local Charlotte Civic Orchestra since January of 2019. As an active member of local performing groups, she offers etiquette and knowledge to students looking to begin on the path of orchestral careers.

Marscia shares her experience and knowledge of the arts with students as young as 3 years of age and believes it is never too late to start learning! She seeks to instill a passion in learning the Violin, Viola, and surrounding art forms in all of her students and hopes to foster a love of music for life!
