Mayleah Brown
Mayleah's ongoing interest for the violin began at age 7 under the tutelage of Ingrid Peters at the Pease Conservatory of Music in Sacramento, California where she was introduced to the Suzuki Method and other schools of music. She went on to continue her studies indepednently and then, for four years in high school, joined the String Ensemble as 2nd and 1st violinist in the Christian Brother's String Ensemble where she was exposed to both classical and contemporary repertoire. While in high school, Mayleah took private lessons with Reylynn Goessling at Kline's Music for another 2 years.
Mayleah took a break from the violin to focus on a different career in Special Education and majored with a BA in Child Development as well as a credential in Early Childhood Special Education. She rekindled her passion with the violin and invested in a Kremona Stradivari Oppenheim violin which she affectionately calls "Oppy".
