Beginning his musical journey as a child, Shaun Cobb started studying the violin at a very young age. Hearing a violinist perform for his pre-k class, Shaun knew at that moment that he was destined to pursue music! At the beginning stages of his violin journey, Shaun participated in the A Gift for Music Orchestra where he served as Concertmaster for three years. Shaun was homeschooled until his senior year when he enrolled at Winter Park High School and played as first violin in the school’s orchestra and also in the All-County Orchestra.
