Some of you may have heard me tell the story about how my daughter started taking violin at the age of four. She took Suzuki violin lessons and she also was trained at a Montessori school in her early years. I actually was her teacher when she was a second grader in Montessori. I have told you about many of the fun teaching techniques that were used to help her to learn. Many of the moms that have come to our studio have expressed appreciation at the little teaching tips that I have shared.
She went on to play violin professionally and she currently has a very successful career in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where she performs with several of the local orchestras, runs a Suzuki violin school that she owns, and co-directs a summer trumpet camp with her husband who is a professional trumpeter.
Last Saturday night, she soloed as concertmaster in a Bernadette Peters performance in the Dallas area. The percussionist in the orchestra that night was Cubby O'Brien, an original mousketeer. Does he look familiar to you?
