After earning two advanced degrees and then Yoga Teacher Certification, Nina fell in love with Music Together classes with her daughter Anna. Nina has played the viola for over twenty years, had a handful of (jokingly referred to) vocal lessons under her belt, and is self-taught in guitar. Nina participated in choirs and orchestras, yet enjoys the fun and freedom of singing and dancing with her daughter most of all.
