She began learning how to play the violin by studying with Kathrine Kunz in Salt Lake City. By the age of twelve, Rebecca had began studying with the University of Utah’s Violin Professor, Hasse Borup. Her love and passion for music carried and led her to decide to pursue music at the collegiate level.

During her college years, she has studied violin privately with Dr. Donna Fairbanks and Dr. Kasia Sokol-Borup.
