Diane is a strings teacher with 12 years experience in North Kansas City and Miami-Dade Public schools (5th grade through high school). After receiving her violin performance and instrumental music certificates , she also completed Suzuki Teacher Training for violin books 1 through 3. Although she had to leave teaching for a while and took a stint as a computer programmer, she always missed teaching music and working with her students. Currently she is assisting strings in Rockwood, playing lots of old-time, and is excited to be teaching at the St Louis String Collective.
