I played violin throughout school and in college. I also studied violin for a school year in (then West) Berlin, Germany, at the Leo-Borchard-Musikschule. I was a member of the Williamsville District Orchestra and the Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra, in high school, the Princeton University Orchestra in college, and the Occidental-Caltech Symphony as a postdoc. I had two major breaks from playing violin, both lasting about 7 years, one to get a PhD in Neuroscience and one to have kids. I started playing violin again about 3 years ago, and have added viola. I am drawn to the sound and orchestral role of the viola and hope to become more proficient in that instrument. I joined the the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra in Fall, 2007, and I play violin and occasionally viola with that group. Philharmonic Society of Arlington on Facebook My 10-year-old daughter started violin in public school in 3rd grade after a mixed Suzuki experience. I was her home teacher and practice coach for about a year. I also have a 6-year-old son who doesn't play anything yet but likes to pluck violin strings. I work as a project manager for a Biomedical Research Institute in the Cambridge/Boston area. E-mail: Registered users may send a message to Karen Allendoerfer from this page.
