Note from Catriona...
“I would like to keep in mind how grateful I am for the treasures shared with me by my teachers - they are wonderful musicians, they are special people, they are gracious and kind to share their information, to give encouragement and inspiration to me over the years. I would like to name here some of the many wonderful teachers I have had the good fortune to study with here in Scotland and beyond.”
