We currently have students learning piano, violin, guitar, and ukulele. Our students are people of all ages and from all walks of life. We continue to be impressed weekly with their intelligence, humor, determination, and love of music.

Bornstringed is an inspiration from my (Sarah's) college days. I was playing pretty regularly at a coffeehouse as a solo act and the organizers asked me if I could put together a band for the last event of the school year. I managed to get a handful of people together, but as a violin major I mostly knew strings players. So that's what we were - a band of stringed instruments. And a random conga player named Tyler. Thus Bornstringed was born.

By the time the actual show rolled around everyone had backed out except myself and Tyler. We had already been billed as Bornstringed, so he and I just went with it for the show. The name has followed me around ever since. It was my first Google email address. Then my Twitter handle. Now it's my identity as a musician and teacher, sharing my love for music (and even non-stringed instruments) every day.
