Jack Benny used to joke that the violin was the only instrument that you had to practice to sound bad at! My poor parents... all those years of listening to bad violin playing. And to think that they didn't want me to practice when the news was on! In high school I was lucky enough to land a music job with the help of George Nagy, the personnel director for the Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra. Getting paid for doing something I enjoyed motivated me to keep doing it.
When I moved to Durango, Mexico, I played with the local symphony, but when I moved to Tucson I started playing in a mariachi. I love playing mariachi music!  For years I played at El Mariachi Restaurant. I even started writing my own songs, some of which I collected in a CD called "Diana canta la venganza."
Today I also play with the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra, led by Linus Lerner. Check our website to find out about upcoming concerts.
