Sharon Holmes was a violinist, teacher and a tireless advocate for the value of string teaching in New Jersey. She was a longtime member of the New Jersey Chapter of the American String Teacher’s Association, an organization that actively promotes string teaching and playing. Sharon Holmes taught in Chatham Public Schools, where she built up a successful string program. She also reached out to other New Jersey communities by performing in orchestras throughout the state. The Sharon Holmes ASTA/NJ Scholarship Fund has been set up in her memory to help young New Jersey string students pursue a career in string teaching.
