Sweet Music

  As an educator and performer with nearly four decades of experience in roots and traditional music, I am passionate about fostering connections within the music community.

At Sweet Music, we believe music isn’t just for kids. Adults can benefit immensely from picking up an instrument, especially one as soulful and expressive as the mandolin or fiddle. Learning to play not only keeps your brain engaged but also brings joy, fulfillment, and a sense of accomplishment that’s hard to find elsewhere. Why Mandolin or Fiddle?

The process of learning new techniques, reading music, and mastering songs sharpens your memory and enhances your cognitive skills. Plus, playing music is a fantastic stress reliever—something we could a...
