I am sending my well-wishes to four students who will be starting their college journey this month! I will cherish many wonderful musical moments and great conversations from their lessons and am so excited to hear about this next chapter of their lives.
This summer I also had the pleasure of working with a few former students who were home for summer break from college, and looking to take advantage of the extra free time to brush up on their playing. It’s so much fun to see all these young people grow and progress!
Cathy
Cathy began taking viola lessons with me via Zoom at the start of the pandemic. She is actively involved in theatre, so naturally was interested in learning some of her favorite musical theatre tunes on the viola. It was so much fun working on songs from musicals like Beetlejuice, Moulin Rouge, and Hamilton. She is headed abroad to study in the UK this fall.
Chloe
Chloe has studied violin with me since the third grade. She is a wonderfully creative musician who has always carved her own unique path on her journey through life. She is a gifted all-around artist. Chloe will be attending George Mason so I look forward to continuing to work with her!
Devin
Devin has been taking viola lessons with me since the end of his 6th grade year. He has always been self-motivated to tackle new and challenging pieces, all while keeping a constantly positive and enthusiastic attitude. He’s started his first year at University of Virginia this month.
Matthew
Matthew began taking viola lessons with me during middle school. Always a kind, open-minded and easy-going student, I know that Old Dominion University will be lucky to have him this fall!
