Rhiannon is our sweet angel

Rhiannon is our sweet angel

Rhiannon is a source of light in our community that I am proud to know.

I first met Rhiannon when I took my son for a consultation at her home/school. My son is now one of her happy students.

The care and attention Rhiannon shows to her young students is apparent not only in their increasing skill, but also in the lesson notes she leaves them with after each session. The kindness, firmness, and encouragement she shares beams from her students after their lesson.

I can only assume that this affect on her student's self-esteem creates a ripple effect at home, at school, and in the community for everyone whose life has been touched by Rhiannon.

My son is truly at his best after having a lesson with her.

I have seen Rhiannon playing violin in the local shopping mall during the holidays. She shares her gift with energy, grace, and class; looking up with a smile and a nod each time another of her local fans say, "Hi Rhiannon!"

The lovely gowns she wears when playing evoke a sense of culture and romance throughout the crowds that gather. Whatever brings Rhiannon about town, she is always herself... she is forever ours.

My husband and I had the pleasure of volunteering on behalf of the Shuswap Violin Society to do gift wrapping at a local shopping mall during the Christmas holiday. After our "shift", Rhiannon arrived (having played violin about town all day) to do some wrapping also. All had smiles and laughter, and I can tell you that her gift-wrapping is done with the same level of precision with which she plays and teaches violin!

As if being a stellar woman, wife, mother, teacher, and local businesswoman isn't enough, she has sought to further share her light and vision with the inception of the Shuswap Violin Society, and it's subsequent, beautifully developed (and informative) website.

Rhiannon personifies all that is our community: quality, acceptance, diversity, and charity. I can feel her love.

The open door policy, which prevails at her home and business, is analogous to her place in the community. We accept her with open arms.

Rhiannon and Fiddleheads Violin School have brought joy, light and lovely music to our community at large, and have put Canoe, BC on the map. Her violin school is used as a landmark when giving directions!
