Dr. Rand Certain

Dr. Certain began studying the Violin & Piano at age 2 – he was privileged to begin his Violin studies after his ‘initial’ Study Session with Dr. Suzuki himself at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Suzuki happened to be in Dallas as a guest Professor of Violin in December of 1964. After the Study Session with Dr. Suzuki, he ‘highly suggested’ to Mrs. Certain,” that young Rand begin Private Violin Instruction immediately!!”. Thus began Maestro Certain’s 19 year Violin & Piano training under the instruction of Mr. & Mrs. Franklin Washburn of Dallas, Texas (University Park)
