Greta grew up in Mechanicsburg, PA and began playing in the orchestra in fourth grade. In high school, Greta studied cello with Nancy Baun of the Eaken Piano Trio, and in addition to performing in her high school orchestra she performed in the Dickinson College Orchestra, the Messiah College Orchestra, the Harrisburg Youth Symphony Orchestra and a string quartet at Dickinson College.  Greta received a full cello scholarship to West Virginia University to study cello and string music education.  She studied with cellist William Skidmore, performed in the WVU Symphony under Lawrence Christianson and studied violin and viola pedagogy.  She graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2002 with a bachelors degree in Music Education.

          Upon graduating, Greta taught string orchestra in Rising Sun, MD to students in grades 4-12.  Her students performed in county and state events and competed at solo and chamber ensemble festivals in several different states.  Greta also coached a string quartet, taught private lessons, performed in weddings and started a youth orchestra.

          In 2007 Greta moved to Middletown, DE to start a brand new orchestra program in Appoquinimink Schools.  After 4 years, the program grew to over 400 members in the district and became a successful addition to the music program.  In addition to teaching private lessons and performing in a string trio, Greta enjoys cooking, decorating and spending time with her husband James and their toddler Landon.

          Greta's mission is to bring the beauty and excitement of orchestral instruments to children.  By learning a musical instrument, students learn respect and love for the arts; as well as creativity, responsibility, time management and perseverance.  They also gain confidence and sense of self.  She looks forward to working with each student to help them improve on their instrument while having fun!  She encourages her students to set short and long term goals as well as explore different genres of music and performance styles. Students are able to see their growth as well as find their personal music preferences and are also taught to compose their own music!
