Founder/Creator of the Music for Young Violinists Project and Registered Nurse: Heather Figi
- Apr. 10, 2020
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1999 with a Bachelor’s degree in Music, Violin Performance. In 2014 I founded and created the Music for Young Violinists project which hosts tutorial videos, articles on playing and teaching violin and an online store featuring 25 of my collections of sheet music and teaching resources.
My compositions and arrangements can also be found in the Shar Music catalog and Sheet Music Plus.
I am also a Registered Nurse specializing in dialysis and currently call Oregon my home.
