About
Play the violin with ease, freedom, and joy then apply it to classical, bluegrass, blues, and jazz. Find your own sound and share it. Private and group lessons are offered as well as opportunities to play for peers. Many of my students have performed as concertmasters, band leaders, soloists, and ensemble players in all musical styles.
