A minor setback for a musician

“Music is like breath. It’s something that would take me away from any troubles. It made me feel like a whole person,” explains Pamela, a violin and piano teacher at Jim’s Music Center in Green Bay. But in 2017, when Pamela slipped on a patch of water in the bathroom and injured her hand, she could no longer grip her violin bow adequately enough to play. As she was already healing from a fall in 2014 in which she broke her elbow, this second injury felt like the final straw.
