BIO

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:01:31 -0500

Christine Knodle began study of violin at the age of 3 at the Suzuki Music Academy in Rockford, IL with Eleanor Stanlis, the founder and director of the academy. In high school, Christine participated in the Rockford Youth Symphony Orchestra, pit orchestras for musicals, and various groups that allowed improvisation and writing. In fact, she took a greater interest in composition when she attended college at Illinois Wesleyan University and studied violin with Vadim Mazo and composition with David Vayo . Christine played in the college orchestra and various groups on campus. When transferring to Rockford College, Christine chose to study business and completed a B.A. In Business Management in 2007. Still pursuing music, Christine took the two year “hiatus” as an opportune time for writing and recording. In 2007, Christine completed her first original album, called “Reflection.” During this time, she began to explore the jazz music. Participating in the Rock Valley Jazz Ensemble, Christine learned how to read charts and improvise. In January 2008, Christine braved the risk and moved to Chicago to study music again—this time, at Columbia College. With an emphasis in jazz and classical, Christine studied violin and piano with Diane Delin and Dennis Luxion. She completed a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate of Music in May 2009. Christine plays regularly in a jazz duo with Andy Kim. After all the exploration of music and education, Christine returned to her roots of Suzuki—now as a teacher. Christine is registered with the Suzuki Association of the Americas to teach the method on violin.
