From earning a music degree at Oxford to becoming a multifaceted folk musician, educator, and author, Rebecca shares how embracing diversity in her music brought freedom and joy. 🎻 Learn how she transitioned from classical to folk music, finding freedom that classical training didn’t offer. 🎼 Explore her work with the Highland Fiddle Band, her original fiddle duo, and the inspiration behind her book of fiddle tunes. 💡 Hear her philosophy on balancing teaching, performing, and parenting—and why community and being "your own patron" are essential to her approach. Rebecca's story is a testament to the power of musical diversity to transform rejection into freedom and inspire creativity.
