Bio

I have been teaching fiddle, violin, viola, and piano to children and adults for the past 10 years. I have been playing the violin since I was seven years old. I studied classical violin with 2 members of the Pittsburgh Symphony and played with the Pitt String Quartet and Chamber Orchestra. I also studied piano with Aaron Gross in Pittsburgh. I have a Masters Degree in Education from Pace am also an accomplished and high-energy fiddler of Old-Timey, Bluegrass, French Canadian, and Scottish music. I recently moved back to my hometown of Pittsburgh. I had been living in New York, where I was a member of the Risky Business Bluegrass Band, the Bossy Frog Children’s Band, the Cameron Scottish Musicians, and the CrossStitch Folk Duo. I am an active member of MTNA (Music Teachers National Association) and ASTA (American String Teachers Association).
