Adrianna is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, and has also studied violin performance at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada.  A trained classical violinist and pianist with a passion for traditional fiddle music, Adrianna takes an individualized approach to music education.

She especially enjoys exposing her students to new musical styles and traditions while developing a strong technical foundation.  If you asked her students what she cares most about, they would probably say “making fun music with friends ... and also rhythm & intonation!".  She believes in the importance of both learning to read music and learning by ear.  Adrianna is fascinated by music’s ability to create lasting friendships and unite a community, and strives to encourage creative collaborations among her students.
