Softspoken Music Notes

Dawnn Fletcher

 

I have 12 years of experience playing music. The instruments I have experience playing are violin, viola, cello and piano. I have been teaching for 6 years. In 2013 I received my Bachelors Degree in music from Bluefield College. I have played for the Rappahannock Youth Symphony and the Bluefield College Orchestra and I have in duets and trios with members of the Roanoke Symphony. I live in Virginia and have played for local wineries, art museums and restaurants; I also play weddings, dinner parties and private events.

 

I enjoy playing music, because music echoes the soul and releases the mind. Everyone may speak a different language, but all musicians speak the same language of notes and rhythm. I have always enjoyed playing string instruments, because they are so powerful. Learning to play the violin gave me a confidence that I understood something that not everyone else did. I started playing viola, because I like the challenge of learning something new that was similar enough that I was not completely lost, but different enough that it was a challenge to be conquered. I learned cello because I fell in love with the sound, since the cello is the closest to the human voice, I could say that it spoke to me.
