Anna Sikora has played the violin since she was young, learning from Kathy Charlestream and Pam Reit. She studied Suzuki pedagogy under Mychal Gendron and Mark Mutter, and is a registered Suzuki Violin Instructor. She has taught at the Upper Valley Music Center and established her own private studio in central Vermont. Before coming to Crossroads Anna was a part of various music groups and organized, directed, and played first violin in a small string ensemble. She is excited for the opportunity to lead the string ensemble at Crossroads and to introduce children to the thrill of playing as a group. Anna has always enjoyed creating a happy atmosphere for her students and desires to instill a love for the violin and beautiful music in every one of them. She is grateful to be a part of the wonderful music program at Crossroads.
