Overview

Mensa Sonora Battalia --- 2010

New Artist ------Baroque Band (Cedille records) Founded in 2007 by British baroque violinist Garry Clarke, Baroque Band has rapidly established itself as an important member of Chicago’s musical community with regular performances in several Chicago venues, including downtown at Symphony Center (home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra). As Chicago’s period-instrument orchestra, it has been hailed by critics and audiences and has gained a reputation as one of the most exciting period-instrument ensembles in the United States. Martin Davids: http://www.haymarketopera.org/martin-davids Isabelle Rozendaal : https://suzukiassociation.org/people/isabelle-rozendaal/ am a violinist from Rogers Park on the North side of Chicago. I studied violin performance and social justice at Oberlin College and Conservatory, and completed my masters degree in violin performance at DePaul University. I have been teaching violin for about 15 years now and absolutely love working with my students! I have experience teaching all ages, 3 to adult. I’ve completed a certificate in Music Education from DePaul University, and have taught orchestra in the public schools. In addition to teaching I play baroque violin and maintain an active performance schedule with groups such as Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra, the Callipygian Players and other ensembles in the area. Teaching is so rewarding- I love helping students achieve their goals! My teaching is a mix of Suzuki and traditional, depending on what is best for the student. I also teach fiddle, improv, and pop arrangements! Besides performing and teaching violin, I am also very interested physical wellness and health, and have advanced yoga teacher training. My interest in healthy posture and alignment comes from my own journey to find a comfortable way to hold and play the violin. Physical alignment and comfort is a priority in my teaching. Movement practices I have studied include tai chi chuan, yoga, and Feldenkrais. Richard Vikstrom: http://www.peterjermihov.com/narrative.html
