ARTIST STATEMENT
I aim to both partake in, and help create, a broad range of performances that are impactful to my communities.
TEACHING ARTIST STATEMENT
Music careers, in our current 21st-century world, are difficult. We have to learn that they won’t necessarily take on the form as that of our role models, our idols, our classical music rock stars. That can be hard to accept. But once you do, once you realize that you really can make your own opportunities, the musical world is large and bright. You can create situations that truly fit who you are, personally and musically; you can shape your career and teaching to be exactly what it needs to be. Because, no matter what the model, our world will always need music. We’ve evolved as musical beings, and that’s not going to go away. If anything, humanity is starving for more; it’s up to us to put it out there.
BIO
ALTERNATE BIO
When Susanna was 5, she threw her violin across the room and stopped taking lessons. Then in 5th grade, when she wanted to join the school band, her flute-playing mom told her to 'pick anything but the flute.' So, Susanna marched into the band-room and said "I'm gonna play the flute like my mom." She has been devoted to music ever since. While Susanna initially thought she'd follow the orchestral route, she is currently fulfilled and excited by a career that involves many different forms of playing, teaching, and entrepreneurism. She is especially proud of the music festival she founded in Southern Vermont. Finally, Susanna has a tattoo that states the advice her college flute teacher once told her: "Play with love." She follows that mantra as much as possible.
