Hi, name is Dana (pronounced with a short a as in cat or Daniel) Keller.  My journey with the violin began before I started playing in the 5th grade. I watched my older brother play for nearly six years before I had the chance to play. He urged me to take up the viola but as the teacher held both up for me to choose, I made the split-second choice to go with the violin. In the 9th grade I started playing the viola as well.

I have a bachelor’s degree in music education from Utah Valley University with an emphasis on strings. I taught beginning orchestra at the elementary school level with the Nebo School District for five years, violin group lessons at Noah Webster Academy for two and a half years and am currently an orchestra teacher with the Mountain West Strings Academy in Cache County.
