I am a classically trained violinist, violist and cellist with over 16 years of experience. My specialty is Celtic and traditional music and I have a strong interest in hammered dulcimer. I have an A.A. summa cum laude from Castleton State College where my major was Music Education. I also have a B.A. in educational studies and a M.Ed. in instructional design. The majority of my M.Ed. program was devoted to the development of Irish traditional music education for area students.
My performance experience includes Sage City Symphony, The Adirondack Fiddlers, Benefit Concerts for St. Judes Research Hospital, WBTN Radio Performances and many other local and private events.
I was a winner of the All New England Fiddle Fest and the Stark Music Festival for each of the years I attended. Competition coaching and advising for children and adult students is available.
