Rachael Keplin was a newcomer to the string section for LP2. She’s a violist - teacher and performer and all of that. She killed it in the studio recording Midwest and 16B, and was professional and personable at the same dang time.
You can see her perform with Chamber Brews, or sign up a youth in your life for violin or viola lessons. Along with Devin Copfer, she teaches at Suzuki Music Columbus. Rachael also performs in Chamber Brews, bringing classical music to a broader audience. You can donate to their mission here.
You can also find links to private lessons and the things she cares most about at her website, along with these words from her.
“Music is a field full of connections. When we teach someone how to make music, we teach patience, respect, critical thinking, a passion for excellence and instrument technique. These virtues and benefits of learning music are directly correlated with the talent we can learn on our instrument.”
All of those same things came through Rachael on the day of the string session. Thanks for your passion and enthusiasm, Rachael!
