     Angela started playing the violin when she was 3 1/2 years old, under Hwa Sun Loh and then continued studies with Pam deWall Wiley. 

     When she was 7 years old, she had set her goal to be a violin teacher and not wavering from her decision, she started Suzuki teacher training classes at age 15. Knowing she would have to repeat those classes because she was not 18, did not deter her from pursuing her dreams of becoming a violin teacher. 

     With those few classes behind her, she started teaching in Cumberland County Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania, in September of 1993 right before her 16th birthday.  She then added lessons in Adams County in 2011. 

     Below is her Suzuki education training after she turned 18 years old.
