Inga Well-Off-Man (Chippewa/Cree) is a violinist currently based in Boulder but originally hails from Havre, MT. She received her Master’s degree in Violin Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Colorado-Boulder and her Bachelor’s in Instrumental Music Education from Oklahoma City University. Her violin journey began when she was 10. Throughout her musical life, she encountered impactful teachers which ultimately inspired her to pursue a career in teaching. Her teaching philosophy is to meet students where they are at. Lessons are at the learner’s pace and she utilizes a variety of independent teaching methods in order to better help students meet their personal goals. Recently, she had the honor of giving a poster presentation about Native American representation in orchestral curriculum and pedagogy at the 2024 American String Teachers Association National Conference in Louisville, KY. Inga is passionate about bringing more Indigenous representation to the field of music, striving to inspire and uplift diverse voices in education and performance. When she is not performing and teaching, you can find her rock and ice climbing and exploring the great outdoors that Colorado has to offer.
