BIOGRAPHY
|
I grew up in the town of Canton, New York, and began playing the violin at age 6 with the Suzuki method. I studied with my mother, Suzanne Danehy, a classical violinist educated at Syracuse University, and Harry Kobialka, professor at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam who ran an innovative Suzuki program. I played in orchestras throughout high school and college.
I’m now a registered Suzuki Violin teacher, Books 1 through 4, and I enjoy teaching ages 4 to 84. Training: I've completed Suzuki Book 1 and Book 2 teacher training by apprenticeship with Kathleen Spring, Book 3 and Book 4 at the Intermountain Suzuki String Institute. I’ve studied with many fiddlers at various workshops and at the Colorado Roots Music Camp.
I'm a Member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas and the Pikes Peak Suzuki Music Association. Teaching Experience: I’ve taught Suzuki Violin and Fiddle from my private studio since 2006. I also teach fiddle at the Colorado Roots Music Camp. I had a previous career in high tech as a marketing engineer for Hewlett-Packard (now Agilent Technologies) in Colorado Springs. I also hold a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Vermont and a M.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado. I have two wonderful children, William and Anna.
