About Brittany
Hi I’m Britt!
Known professionally as The Purple Violinist
Also known personally as Britt Stocks…
꩜ I’m a Musician, Teacher, & Healer ꩜
After pursuing a Masters in Teaching,
I decided to follow my dreams of becoming a professional musician.
An artistic Jill of all trades, this decision led me on a journey of performing, teaching, music business management, creative entrepreneurship, and the healing arts.
Everything I do, I do with my heart & soul. So it makes sense that music, arts, & wellness have become my intertwined passions and purpose.
Brittany has been a professional musician for over 20 years, playing violin and viola all over the world. She has performed professionally for weddings & events, in various different orchestras, ensembles, and rock bands. She is one of the founding members and past Creative & Social Media Director for the Blackstone Valley String Quartet (2016-2018). She spent two years after that as the Studio Manager for Red 13 Studios, a music production studio. After teaching music lessons part-time from 2016-2019, she decided to teach full-time in the Fall of 2019 and continued doing so online throughout the pandemic and after.
Brittany has developed her own style of teaching which focuses on meeting her clients & students where they are in the moment physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her method of teaching and coaching is focused on fostering mindfulness and a growth mindset. She strives to help her students not only learn how to express themselves and work hard towards their personal goals but to also cultivate self awareness, body awareness, and lifelong self care habits through building connection, encouraging self reflection, and fostering love and compassion for themselves and others.
