Fridley loves to share her passion for music both with audience members and her private students, be it on bass, viol, or beginning piano. She is driven to engage students with their challenges and goals – to figure out what works for each individual, how they grow from those experiences, and what resonates with them. She strives to develop students’ connection to their instrument(s) as well as passion for music. People often tell Fridley that she ‘dances with her bass’ - she feels that her bass is an extension of her body and that musicality flows through us all when we are relaxed, playing healthily, and having fun. She has taught piano through Note-Worthy Experiences, given private double bass lessons from elementary to collegiate level students, and has participated as an instructor in viola da gamba workshops in New England.
