    Marigrace started playing the viola and violin at age six. She was classically trained through the Suzuki Method by Dr. Rebekah Hanson, the president of the Orgon Suzuki Association of the Americas. At Newberg High School, Marigrace participated in a quartet that qualified for the OSAA 6A division Solo-Ensemble competition, in which the ensemble took fourth place. As a high school student, Marigrace was also involved with the George Fox Symphony for nearly two years under the tutelage of Dr. Dwayne Corbin.Young children have always held a special place in Marigrace’s heart, and she adores sharing her knowledge of music with pre-K students. Assisting various teachers in group classes since 2011 has been how Marigrace gained the skills to open her own studio. Through this studio, Marigrace has successfully trained over 13 kids through book one of the Suzuki Methods series and through Music Mind Games.

    At Harmony Music Studios, Marigrace will teach ages 5 and up under the Suzuki Method, and will also serve as a mentor through our “Worship Workshop” class to young orchestral musicians hoping to someday get involved in Musical Worship.
