My name is Rose Skidmore and I’m from Hurst, Texas. I’m currently finishing up my last year of high school at Interlochen Arts Academy as a Viola major! I plan to pursue Viola performance in college and beyond, and I’m looking forward to the exciting opportunities that college offers.

This year, I’ve had the privilege of using a school-owned instrument; however, I now need to purchase my own viola for college. With the impending strain of college tuition as well as the recent traveling I had to do for auditions, my family doesn’t have the extra money we would need to purchase a Viola. If you or anyone you know has any money to spare, it would be greatly appreciated in going towards a new instrument!
