The violin has been part of Meagan’s musical journey from an early stage and has given her the opportunity to experience music not only as a student and teacher, but as an orchestral musician.

She studied violin and the Carl Orff method with Ms. Jinni Dinshaw – founder of The Bombay Chamber Orchestra. Ms Jinni was a formative teacher and mentor in her musical life. Meagan had the privilege of performing alongside her teacher Ms Jinni in the Bombay Chamber Orchestra, playing both violin and viola. As a member of the Bombay Chamber Orchestra (BCO), Meagan has performed Western Classical music concerts directed by guest conductors from Germany, Austria, UK and USA at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) and at St Andrew’s Auditorium. Meagan has also performed with the BCO at various high profile corporate events including the launch of TATA DOCOMO in Mumbai and at the Mahalakshmi Race Course, Turf Club. Meagan has also assisted Ms. Jinni in her Orff lessons, an experience that brought together her growing musicianship and her interest in music education. She has completed her Grade 7 in violin performance from Trinity College London with distinction and has trained in masterclasses with visiting international artists.

As a member of the Indian National Youth Orchestra (INYO), Meagan has collaborated with the Italian Embassy in performing the grand opera Cavellerina Rusticana, in New Delhi. As a member of the National Youth Orchestra (NYO), Meagan has collaborated with The National Youth Orchestra of Canada and The Bangalore School of Music. Her experience as an orchestral musician has shaped her understanding of ensemble playing, listening and collaboration — skills that continue to inform her work as a teacher and mentor.

Meagan has played the violin extensively in Bollywood and live music. She has played the violin in solo concerts, duos, trios and quartets playing a variety of different genres from Western Classical music to Pop music, Bollywood, Latin, Jazz and Folk music.

For Meagan, the violin represents not only an instrument of expression, but also the joy of making music with others.
