music

what's the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

       ...a violin has strings, but a fiddle has straaaaaaangs.

my top three

1

solo

I began playing the violin when I was 5 years old & haven't stopped since. By participating in private lessons, seasonal recitals, solo competitions, and even just playing for my church, I've grown to love this instrument and appreciate how much I've grown in my talent. I am available for bookings, contact me if interested.

quartet

Three of my closest friends and I formed an all-girls string quartet known as the "Virago Strings Quartet." We have played on-and-off again over the past four years, usually booked the most during the holiday season. We are available for weddings, charity events, local music festivals, concerts, live performances, house parties, galas, and so much more! Visit our instagram feed to view, contact, or learn more about the "Virago Strings Quartet."

orchestra

I attended my local youth orchestra for 8 years, for which I progressed from the twinkle-twinkle group to the highest Sinfonia level orchestra. I held the positions of Concertmaster, co-Concertmaster, first-chair, first stand, principal section leader, and co-principal section leader. I additionally was involved in my school orchestra, as well as the TMEA Region Orchestra of 2021 as 19th chair of the Symphony level. I am not currently involved in an orchestra organization, but hope to find one in Austin that benefits my schedule in the future.
