Hi! I'm Dena Conzatti, a freelance musician and Suzuki violin teacher. 
Right now, I'm in my Senior year with Thomas Edison State College. Not 
being in a "traditional" college, I began my "year" last November and will 
finish this November with an accredited music degree. Right now I am 
taking occasional lessons from Cindy Petty and playing with the Oregon 
Pro Arte Youth Chamber Orchestra. My favorite position as a musician, 
however, is my spot as the fiddler in the "GreenerBlue" bluegrass band. 
The band includes two of my siblings and friend Titus Copper. I also 
enjoy teaching kids how to play the violin, and my studio is full at 23 
energetic and talented students. Oh, and did I mention that I and my 6 
siblings were all homeschooled K-12? Yes, and I loved it so much, that 
after I graduated, I agreed to work for our homeschool organization as a 
Family Consultant, serving homeschool families in 5 states: Alaska, 
Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. These activities take up most 
of my time, but when I'm not practicing, teaching, or talking with 
homeschool families on the phone, you can probably find me at one of my 
favorite "downtime" activities: training for the next 5k or 10k, 
watching a movie and eating air-popped popcorn with my sisters, 
shopping, or reading my favorite Book, the Bible.
