Kat Dillon
Violin/Fiddle
Location: Pasadena, MD
Ages: all
Info: Teaching is my passion, and I believe that everyone has music in them that wants to be discovered. After over 20 years of performing with all genres of groups - from Symphonies to a Celtic Rock band - I have a very eclectic background that I can pull from to help you learn the violin. I tailor each lesson and program for each student and their musical preferences. I specialize in Celtic, Bluegrass, and Pop/Rock, but still implement the fundamentals from classical music to teach the proper techniques. I am available for in-person and online lessons. More information can be found on my website: www.stringsandthingsstudios.com
