About Me
You know, I've always hated answering questionnaires and
things that say to tell them about me in 100 words or less.
This time I have to tell myself to do it! Let's see...
My name is Theresa Bollhagen, and I've been playing some
kind of music or another since I can remember. I've been
in choruses, orchestra, handbell choir, singing choirs, local
bands (like , Ataya) and I'm trying to get other projects
going. I've been taught guitar by two of Milwaukee's
greats- Jack Grassel and Steve Peplin among others. My
ongoing violin training is with Waukesha Symphony member
Steven Friedenberg. In fall '08, I will be attending Carroll
College to pursue a degree in violin performance. There, I
will be studying with Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
member Joana Miranda.
I've studied rock, jazz, classical, blues and Irish music, and
I dabble in styles like Gypsy, country, goth rock, and folk. I
have also studied early childhood development, and I've
taught a few children, teens, or adults with disabilities.
I guess there's more I can say, but who really reads these
things anyway? So, since a picture says a thousand words...
