“Growing up in upstate New York, Olivia Munson’s love for violin music began when she went to a children’s concert with her preschool class.
“I was just fascinated by the violinist because they got to sit in front of the orchestra and got to play all the flashy music,” she said.
It is with that same enthusiasm and passion for music she now teaches violin and viola at St. Francis Music Center in Little Falls. She is a new instructor there.
One of the many things she enjoys about giving individual music lessons is how each and every one of her students is different, how they interact with their instrument and how they play the violin or viola. Catering to each student’s different need and level, Munson said it gives them a unique experience.
“It emphasizes how everyone is and how wonderful that can be musically because especially in the orchestra when everyone comes together, all those different approaches are blended together to this wonderful experience. I think that is something that is very unique about music in general,” she said.”
