Women to Women Nevada with Sue Jesch
Sue Jesch is the Education Director of the Carson City Symphony and an amazing private violin and viola instructor. She has taught violin and viola and performed professionally for more than 30 years. She began playing in the Carson City Symphony when she moved to Nevada in 2004.
She became founding director of the Symphony’s successful Strings in the Schools and Strings in the Summer programs in 2005. She is recipient of the 2011 Nevada Governor’s Arts Award for Leadership in Arts Education.
Sue began her formal music instruction at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and went on to become part of its music faculty, serving as Director of the Preparatory School in Strings. She studied violin performance and pedagogy extensively in Oxford, England, with internationally acclaimed string teacher and lecturer, Kató Havas, author of A New Approach to Violin Playing, Stage Fright, Its Causes and Cures, and other instructive books and videos. Ms. Jesch presented a paper, “A New Approach to Practicing,” at the 1990 “Playing Less Hurt” Conference in Minneapolis, Minn. She is accredited as a representative teacher of the New Approach.
Ms. Jesch has played professionally with the Duluth Superior Symphony, the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra, and the University of Minnesota, Duluth, String Quartet. She served as concertmaster of the University of Minnesota, Duluth, Symphony Orchestra and the Oklahoma Community Orchestra.
Ms. Jesch teaches violin and viola privately in her studio at Play Your Own Music in Carson City, where she also leads Carson City Symphony’s Not Quite Ready For Carnegie Hall Players, a string ensemble for adult beginners, and “Strazz,” a youth strings jazz ensemble.
One of Sue's students, Lissette Rivas, joined in for the second half.
Women to Women Nevada is hosted by Carol Paz and televised on Charter Media every Thursday at 7 pm on Channel 3 (Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Fallon, Lake Tahoe) and 15 (in Carson City, Gardnerville, Dayton) and appears every Friday on Carson Now. The locally produced and privately owned program features Northern Nevada women who are making a difference in their communities and in the region.
The interview style of Women to Women allows for an open discussion on the personal and professional challenges that each guest has been faced with and how she has worked through such struggles. The goal of the program is to offer women hope, support and encouragement as they face their own difficulties.
Guests range in ages as well as circumstances and come from different cultures, religions, traditions, educational levels and professional achievements. The common thread is that they are willing to share their lives with others in the hope that what they have found and learned can be of benefit to others.
