Hello parents and learners!

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee (USA) and in addition to music I also love raising rabbits, pollinator gardening, and reading!  I and my husband currently live with our five beautiful children in the state of North Carolina.  I am excited to be part of the Outschool family!

Music has always been a big part of my life, starting with classical piano, which I began at age 8, taking private lessons from a professor at the University of Tennessee.  Later on, in my teens, my interests shifted to strings and traditional Appalachian and Celtic music.  I learned from many people, including bluegrass musician Justin Moses and as a student of Jim Wood at the Jim and Inge Wood School of Music.  As a young adult, I worked as a volunteer interpreter at Cade’s Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, teaching park visitors about Appalachian music.  I have played professionally for weddings and other events, in restaurant house bands, as well as at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN.  I have led traditional music demonstrations for public school classes, in addition to teaching privately for many years.
I am passionate about introducing young people to traditional Appalachian and Celtic music and helping them perfect their skills!
I primarily teach fiddle/violin and Appalachian old-time and Celtic music, but also bluegrass, Western swing and Texas contest-style fiddle.  I also play guitar, both standard and Celtic (DADGAD), piano, mandolin, recorder, penny whistle, mountain dulcimer, ukulele and Irish bouzouki.  

I see each learner as a unique individual and cater my teaching approach to best suit their needs and interests.
