Franzeli Sharp’s love for the violin began at age six when she started Suzuki Violin lessons. She was granted a scholarship to the University of Louisville to study violin in 1996. She holds a BA in Music. Her teaching career began in Elizabethtown, Kentucky in 1996 with individualized lessons for children ages three through fourteen. In 2001, she started teaching in Louisville and decided that teaching the Suzuki Method was her choice as a career.
