I picked up my first violin at age 5, and I’ve been playing ever since. Initially, I had wanted to play the cello, but my parents were unable to find a cello teacher who would teach a child as young as I was. They stumbled upon a Suzuki violin teacher, and so violin it was. It wasn’t long before I became very attached to my violin, and played and played and played. I never lost my affinity for the low, rich, sound of the cello. However, by the time I tried a cello, everything was upside down and felt completely unnatural. If only there were an instrument similar to the violin, but with a lower, deeper sound. Hmmmm.....
You guessed it: I also began playing the viola. I currently teach and perform on both the violin and the viola. My services include violin lessons, viola lessons, Irish/Old Time/Bluegrass fiddle lessons, studio recording, live performance, and orchestral playing.
