Jane Watson- Violin, Viola and Strings

Jane Watson has studied, played and taught violin since the age of eight. Her musical studies include 8 years of violin study at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and The Ohio State University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree; and 12 years of private study with such teachers as Robert Billups, Virginia Christensen, Ronald Konieczka and Robert Culver. In addition, Jane has performed with many orchestras and ensembles in the Central and Southern Ohio area and currently does freelance performing work in Columbus and the surrounding area.

Her strength is in teaching young and intermediate players the love and fun side of music while emphasizing the importance of technique and disciplined practice. Her students are performance oriented and generally go on to play professionally with orchestras across the country.

Jane's second love is teaching adults. Her philosophy is that anyone can learn to play an instrument proficiently at any age with proper instruction, practice and a strong desire to do so. Many of Jane's adult students achieve performance level abilities and can be seen playing around town at weddings, gallery hops and festivals.
