I am a homeschooled student and currently a Junior in High School.
I first started playing the violin when I was eight years old and have been Suzuki trained from the beginning. The past four semesters I have been a part of the Abilene Youth Orchestra, and have thoroughly enjoyed having an outlet to play alongside other musicians. Through my time in AYO, I had the special opportunity of serving as the Principle 2nd, as well as co-concert master. Music has always been a special part of my life and I am so very thankful to be a part of a program that cares deeply about cultivating music into young children’s learning!
