Hello to all who chose to view my profile. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 years old and fell in love with it. I am 28 years old and still play as much as my fingers will allow. I have a degree in Violin Performance from the University of Kansas. I have played with numerous orchestras and ensembles. I am not your normal violinist in the respect that I don't feel the need to add degrees and study with the finest teachers for the sake of studying with them. I feel that whatever technique you are learning, as long as it is sound in its efficacy, does not have to come from the greatest of the greats because we are all the greatest of the greats in some respect.
