Practicing Patience…

May 28th, 2013 by Katherine Moller

As many of you know, I am driven and work very hard at what I do.  I like to be successful and see progress is whatever it is that I am doing, but I am continually reminded to be patient, in all things in life:  music, career, health… The most recent example of this for […]

There have been a couple of big new items over the past couple of week.  On the East Coast, one of the big items was Rita McNeil’s passing at the age of 68.  A music icon, she had an effect of many people’s lives. Over the past couple of weeks, many people have talked about […]

I have not been playing one of my violins for over year now.  This violin is the one that my parents bought for me when I was in university and is the instrument that I have used for most of my classical performances ever since.  Over a year ago, I noticed that the top was […]

2012 in Review: A Year in the Life of a Fiddler

December 25th, 2012 by Katherine Moller

It’s hard to believe that another year has passed, and what a year it has been! The highlight for me this year was being recognized as Classical Artist of the Year by Music NB. I was shocked that I won the award, but delighted at the same time! I figured this would be a good […]
