about tara
| |
 A fiddler from the age of 3, Tara's unique style blends her Irish and bluegrass family roots with her classical and jazz training from The University of Iowa, where she earned a Bachelor of Music degree in 2000.
Fiddling is a family tradition for Tara. Her mother, Carmel Vrabel (nee' McGovern), is a fiddler from Swanlinbar, County Cavan, Ireland and her paternal great-grandfather, Homer Rayburn, was a bluegrass and old time fiddler in a family band in Michigan and Indiana.
Tara has over 10 years of experience teaching fiddle to students of all ages and ability levels. She happily accepts both adult students and children ages 6 and over. Tara's unique background in both music therapy and early childhood have shaped her as a patient and joyful teacher.
