Schoen Duo

The Schoen Duo dances over the boundary between classical and folk music in performance, as well as providing music lessons at their studio for all ages.

The Schoens are classically trained performers on both historical and modern flutes and violins. They perform as individual soloists, as the Schoen Duo, and in collaboration with other groups and performers. Their ability to adapt enhances their work as artists and allows us to create programs suitable for any event.

"It is all about the power of live music to communicate and express that which is beyond words. "

Their repertoire ranges from early music on period instruments to modern works that use phrase sampler loopers and other modern technology.

"Spanning one thousand years on three different violins and four different kinds of flute. "

Thomas and Kathleen are also fascinated by the musical learning process with its combination of aural, kinesthetic, emotional, and visual components, and continue to explore it through their work as teachers and in their own continuous learning and research. They both have advanced Suzuki training, extensive performance experience, and broad musical interests to offer quality flute, violin, recorder, and viola lessons based on the Suzuki Method.

Both Kathleen and Thomas offer private violin, viola, flute or recorder lessons for the young and the young at heart!
