Miss Utah started violin as a Suzuki child
It is exciting to see JessiKate Riley become an accomplished violinist who shares joy through her music. We were fortunate to have her as a student in our Suzuki Strings Cedar City program for many years. Her family is musical and her siblings and mother have also done well with their music.
