Martha Herrle, Faculty Liaison and a member of the CMS Leadership Team, received her B.Mus.Ed degree from Hartt College of Music, studying both violin and viola. She spent the following year studying string quartet literature at the University of Connecticut with the Laurel String Quartet.
While raising her family, she has taught privately off and on for over 30 years, and has been on the faculty of Community Music School since 2001.
