Jaime Letourneau grew up in Las Vegas and began playing violin in the Clark County School District String Program at age 12. She graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy High School (Interlochen, MI) with honors in violin performance and earned a BM in violin peroformance at UNLV (with Teresa Ling and Byron Tauchi) and a MM in violin performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music under Camilla Wicks and Wei He.

Jaime has had a wide range of coaching some of whom include: Charles Castleman, Eugene Drucker, Robert MacDonald, Ian Swenson, Mark Sokol, Katie Lansdale, Robert Merfeld, the Diaz Trio and the Ying Quartet. While living in the San Francisco Area, Jaime taught violin at the San Domenico Music Conservatory and was the concertmaster of the Coastside Symphony Orchestra where she also performed as a soloist. In Las Vegas, Jaime was a member of the Las Vegas Philharmonic and taught at the College of Southern Nevada. Being a mecca for grand events, Las Vegas provided many opportunities for gala performances; Jaime has played in events for Raymond Weil, Wayne Newton, Andrea Bocelli and the Bellagio grand opening ceremonies (pictured in Time Magazine) as well as in orchestras conducted by Itzak Pearlman, John Williams, and Michael Gilbert (New York Philharmonic).

Currently living in Bacova, VA, Jaime is adjunct professor of violin and chamber music at Washington and Lee University, and is a lead teacher in the Allegheny Mountain String Project, a new initiative to bring comprehensive string education and ensembles to the rural areas of the Allegheny Highlands.
