About Me

This is when her parents realized her musical talents! She first began learning the piano in elementary school. She learned for a year and wanted to try something new. Rosalind saw an orchestra performing on television and instantly fell in love with the violin. At age 10, she began her musical career on violin. Her first violin teacher was Patricia Graham.
