About Tamsen B.
*** Specialties ***
I teach and perform Classical violin and viola (with some mandolin); all styles from the Renaissance to Contemporary.
In addition to playing concerts, I have a deep knowledge of getting the best sound from your instrument and how to maintain it. I make a point of sharing this information with my students.
I invented the Acoustifoam Shoulder Rest to alleviate pain and discomfort while also improving the instrument's sound.
