| About Sharon Dee | |||||||||
Sharon Dee was a music teacher, for over thirty years, as well as a cultural anthropologist, who combined
her knowledge and interests to provide an eclectic program of
learning. She taught music and worked as a professional
musician and luthier (has even made her own "red violin") for over 30 years. Sharon specializes in
restoration of eighteenth and nineteenth century products, and is a master varnish maker using the
old master methods of the making and use of oil varnishes. In the area of anthropology, she has worked for the University of Minnesota as a researcher in the area of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, from pre-European history to the present. Much of her research involved the study of linguistics, music and dance, communication, human migration, and the collaborative efforts of present day governments and Indigenous governments to manage the resources of the Great Lakes Region in her own back yard. She was a child prodigy on violin and other instruments, and received many academic scholarships, including a full scholarship to the Excelsior School of Music in New York, at age 16. She received a decree from the State of Louisiana Music Commission for her work done thru her ethnomusicology course, "The Music of Quebec". She has performed with several orchestras in New York, California, and Minnesota, as well as conducted orchestras in both New York and Minnesota, and formed and conducted The Twin Cities String Ensemble, and the Lilly Baber String Ensemble. Sharon offers years of experience in all aspects of the string instrument business. Because of her experience, and genuine interest in music education, she is someone trusted by those who do business with her.
