I am available for WEDDINGS! As a solo "strolling" violinist, or as a duet with Celtic A Do , a Celtic duet (violin/guitar), or Fiddle Hill , a New England Contradance band.
CONTRACT
I can go anywhere in the world to play if I have a written invitation and a contract. It is very simple. If you want me to perform in your village, town, city, you need to petition your town manager/mayor to send me an official invitation and a contract for the performance. Then I can come. Easy enough, isn't it?
I am a professional musician and music teacher. I've been teaching private lessons since 1986. I teach violin (fiddle), viola, mandolin and guitar.
I teach out of my studio in Belchertown, but also online remotely over the internet. Go to my "lessons" page here .
I am available for hire. Contact me for more information and pricing.
I earn my living with music. Music is the most wonderful thing in the world. "The Universal Language", as it's often called. I really appreciate the time you are taking to visit my site. You are very important to me, because you are here. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer you, and that you come back often.
If you're musician, please visit www.SweetStrings.biz , where you can purchase instruments, bows, cases and accessories at pennies over wholesale prices.
Thanks for visiting!

To hear what I sound like, listen to this:
I find people who live in Asia to be extremely friendly, very happy and giving. After growing up in the US, I realized that there's nothing better than real Chinese food made in China, or real Kimchi made in Korea!
It's always been a desire of mine to teach music, specifically the violin in Asia. I hope to do that someday. If you or someone you know is in a position to send me an official invitation to perform, I would be most grateful. Sometimes it is easier to get a Visa to China, for example, when there's an official invitation from a town official or Mayor.
