My private violin studio is near Poulsbo, easily accessible from the rest of Kitsap County via Highway 3.
I began my own classical violin studies at age 8 and am an avid orchestral and chamber musician. I also enjoy playing bluegrass music on violin and mandolin, improvising with contemporary ensembles on my electric violin, and teaching myself to play folk harp. I am a violinist in the Bremerton Symphony and past member of the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, the Portage Bay Philharmonic, the Washington University Symphony, the Seattle Youth Symphony and award-winning Roosevelt High School Chamber Orchestra. I also direct an adult choir, sing in a women's vocal ensemble and make occasional presentations on the violin to elementary students. I just love music and try to communicate my enthusiasm for learning to my students!
As a violin teacher, I encourage my students to prepare to join local ensembles like the Bremerton Symphony Orchestra or Youth Orchestra for maximum application and enjoyment of the skills they attain in private lessons.
