I love to work with students and help them discover how to master the instrument. My favourite part of adjudicating is the one on one time after they play.

Raised in Mission on a Christmas tree farm, Calvin Dyck was introduced to the accordion at the age of 5 by a travelling salesman, and started Suzuki Violin at the age of 8.
In spite of a college aptitude test recommending a career as a tug boat captain, Calvin completed a music degree at Biola University, and went on to complete a Masters and Doctorate in violin performance at the University of Southern California with minors in choral conducting, music education and music history.
Calvin has been concertmaster for the Vancouver Island Symphony in Nanaimo since 2000. He is also the director for the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra, and in 2014 they toured all 10 provinces in Canada along with the British Columbia Boys Choir. Calvin has played concerts in over 15 countries, and is in demand as a producer, teacher, conductor and adjudicator.
Calvin currently has about 25 students. Some of his former students are currently studying at universities across Canada, and one is now a member of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
Calvin has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for service to the community. He has also been awarded an honorary Doctor of Humanities by Trinity Western University.
