Overview
As a Middle Tennessee State University graduate, I play regularly at weddings, contra dances, farmers markets, studio sessions, and as a violist with my trio. I also teach private lessons and have teaching experience at Dow Street Community Music School, The Huntsville Strings Shop, and Elite Dance, Music, and Art. My teachers include Jim Wood, five-time state fiddle champion; Inge Wood, decorated rhythm guitarist; Dr. Andrea Dawson, world-renowned violinist; and Stephan Dudash, leading five-string violist. If you have specific song requests for your event, I would love to accommodate you!

Sophie was everything we wanted and needed at our fantasy esc wedding. She did a custom Playlist for the welcome and unfortunately didn't get to hear it but know it was amazing and still being talked about. I am trying to get my sister to consider booking her for her special day. Sophie was one of my favorite parts of the day and always dreamed of having live music. SHE did it all and more. I wish I could do the day over and have the chance to sit and listen to her play.

I unfortunately being the bride didn't get to witness her magic for the welcome or cocktail hour. BUT for the ceremony it was chef's kiss. I'm already trying to convince my sister to book her for her wedding. I wish there was another reason for me to keep using sophie she was great.
