Ep. 7 - Khelsey Zarraga
Season 2, here we are! We're doing things a little differently this rodeo -- expanding our guest list to include female-identifying people of color! Our first guest this season is Chicago-based violinist, Khelsey Zarraga. A badass lady who wears many hats as a violinist, chamber musician, community partnerships manager, and hair queen. She had lots to say about how to empower and uplift Black musicians and what that looks like in action going beyond Black History Month. "Give yourself some grace" is our new mantra!

Ep. #6 - Grace Leehan
Aaandddddd we’re back!
It’s been a hot minute, but we are so excited to be back and joined by our friend, Korean-New Zealander violist, Grace Leehan! We’re talking all things Kiwi vs German culture, fitting in at Korean church, and stigma surrounding performance injuries. Oh, and of course, we had to get her to teach us some Kiwi slang. Hope your week is sweet as! -
Ep. #5 - Annamarie Arai
We’re back with another ep and this one is full of giggles….we overcame three time-zones and interviewed the giggle queen herself, Annamarie Arai- aka Cat’s big sis, aka Miss Anna to all of her violin students- and chatted about her back-breaking online teaching journey, her teaching role in the Bay Area ELM program (Enriching Lives through Music), and her thoughts about the “Tiger Mom” stereotype.
