About Me

Mrs. Stodola started as a Suzuki violin instructor in Lubbock, Texas in 2002 after receiving short-term training at the American Suzuki Institute from Nancy Lokken. Inspired to learn more, Mrs. Stodola received a MME with an emphasis in Suzuki violin from the University of Wisconsin-Steven Point. During her time in Stevens Point she worked with Professors Pat D’Ercole and Steve Bjella, and was awarded the Margery Aber Talent Education Scholarship for two consecutive years.

In 2005, Mrs. Stodola became a faculty member of North Shore Suzuki Strings in Glendale, WI. Since then, she has been a clinician at workshops throughout Wisconsin, and served as interim faculty for the Aber Suzuki Center at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. In 2008, she established Stodola Suzuki Strings in Shorewood, WI, which later joined forces with Barcel Suzuki String Academy in 2010. A strong believer in ability development from age 0, Mrs. Stodola is avidly interested in the development and promotion of BSSA’s growing Suzuki ECE class.
