About Me

Robin grew up with a strong love and appreciation for music. This love was instilled in her home growing up, which included a mother who taught Suzuki violin and four older siblings who each play a string instrument. She started violin at the age of three with Ramona Stirling using the Suzuki Method. Robin performed with the accomplished Utah performing group the “Rocky Mountain Strings” and traveled with them to various places around the country and world, including Poland and the Czech Republic, where she helped introduce the Suzuki method to various teachers and students. Robin continued studying the violin through high school with Jack Ashton, a current member of the Utah Symphony, and performed with the “Young Artist Chamber Players” performing group.

Upon entering college, Robin continued her education in music, studying with Ted Ashton and performing with the Brigham Young University-Idaho Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonietta, Chamber Orchestra, and the Baroque Ensemble. She had the privilege of being concert master of both the Symphony Orchestra and the Sinfonietta. She received a Bachelor of Musical Arts with an emphasis in Pedagogy from BYU-Idaho, graduating in the top 5% of her class, magna cum laude.

Robin is a member of the "Suzuki Association of the Americas" and has received specialized training in teaching beginning Suzuki violin students.

Robin now resides with her husband and daughter in Hockessin, Delaware, where her husband is working at a law firm in Wilmington and she is doing what she loves, being a mother and teaching the violin.
