Thomas Callino began his musical career at age 11, when he entered Lincoln Park Academy. When he saw his grandfather’s old violin, he asked for lessons. His first teacher was Gerard Augustine, a former Concertmaster of the Treasure Coast Symphony Orchestra. He started playing in the symphony orchestra at age 13; he was the youngest member at that time. In his sophomore year in high school he attended Sewanee Music Camp; in his junior year he attended Interlochen Music Camp. At that time he was concertmaster of the Lincoln Park Academy High School Orchestra. His other teachers included Igor Markstein, Dr. John Enyart and most recently, Matt Stott. He plans to pursue a career in music education.
