Ally McLanahan

Hello, I am Ally! I am seventeen and currently a student at Reno High School. Violin has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I started studying classical violin when I was five years old and from there I haven't stopped. One of my favorite aspects of violin, and music in general, is playing with others. I have been a part of the Reno Youth Philharmonic for seven years, as concertmaster, section leader, and participant. I also enjoy playing Old-Time and Celtic fiddle. I started about five years ago and since then, I have been to and participated in many fiddle competitions, jigs, and performances. The genre of music is one of my favorites. Now, I am so excited to begin to share my love of the violin with others and hopefully find the same passion in another student!
