This is the first time I sent 4 of my students to audition for Oakland youth symphony orchestra and all 4 were given offers to join the orchestra. Now they have to start working on their All-State auditions as well as prepare for next month’s fundraising event at the Danville Farmer’s Market 🙏🙏🎻🎻

Thank you to City of San Ramon for allowing my students to perform at the library again this year:) Next Performance will be next Saturday at Dublin High:) Get your tickets now!!:)

Here’s a clip of my students playing Christmas Trio arranged by Mark Mutter:

We also performed Star Spangled Banner, which is another hit at the holiday concert and some of the audience even got a little teary eyed.

It has been a huge blessing this year to have the help and support of all my students’ parents and having weekly group lessons have really increased students’ interest in learning the violin and keeping up with the daily practice:)

Here’s to an even more productive and wonderful 2019!!

Cheers!!

My students and Origins performed for a nice crowd at the San Ramon library in their holiday program last weekend. Thanks for having us and hope to see you all again next year:)

Don’t forget to come to Dublin Senior Center next Sunday from 3-4pm to see them perform again:)

Originsstrings is getting more exposure in the community as they performed at the Dublin Mayor’s re-election campaign this afternoon:) Their mission is to share their love for music with the community at the same time have fun with it!:) I’m so proud of these 8th grade students and how hard they work to prepare for each of their performances in the community.

Here’s a clip of my twinkle group students playing Wintertime in Russia in my backyard on a gorgeous Friday afternoon:) The youngest twinkle student is 4 and oldest is 10:) They have all studied with me for less than 6 months!

This is my son’s first attempt at playing the Praeludium and Allegro with his new 16.5 inch viola. He’s been playing violin for the past 6 years and has now grown to become a 6ft young man:) He has become more fond of the viola and its deeper tone. I hope he can enjoy both the viola and violin for the rest of his life:)
