Suzanne Chaigneau

Suzanne Chaigneau (14 June 1875 – 13 April 1946) was a French violinist and chamber musician, and a noted violin teacher.

She spent her childhood between Barbizon and Paris, receiving her musical education from her mother and family friends including Charles Lamoureux and Camille Chevillard.

The Trio Chaigneau played in London and Edinburgh and, with assistance from Joachim, undertook a tour of Germany in 1905.

Back in Paris she taught the violin, and founded the Institut moderne du violon with Lucien Capet in 1924.

Her books on violin playing included L’Art d’etudier, as well as a translation of the Journal Intime of Novalis.
