- Abby R. -
Pianist & Violinist
Abby began lessons on the violin at the age of eight, and piano at the age of twelve. Growing up in the Lowcountry provided her with many opportunities to study under several teachers, perform in a variety of settings, and eventually pass along her love of music to her own violin and piano students. In 2012, Abby performed in Piccolo Spoleto’s Rising Stars showcase; she also received scholarships from the Summerville Music Club and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League throughout middle and high school. Abby played violin with the Summerville Orchestra from 2017-2019, and she has taught private lessons since 2016. She enjoys being able to use her musical skills in a wide variety of contexts, from church worship services to retirement communities to weddings and other events. Abby is currently working towards her BA in Music Therapy from Charleston Southern University and plans to graduate in 2022. While in college, she has had the opportunity to participate in several musical groups, including Bel Canto (Charleston Southern’s women’s choir) and string chamber ensembles. Abby lives in the Charleston area with her husband and in her free time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. |
