Catie and Terry first met when Catie was eight years old and began taking music lessons from Terry. She was such an excellent student that one year later Terry began teaching Catie his repertoire.

Terry explains that he had been fortunate to work with some great violinists in Houston and later at Disney World, but he was having a hard time finding a violinist in the Texas Hill Country who had the availability and specific kind of talent he was looking for. “The Offermans and I talked about me teaching Catie to play my music with exactly the flair and style I wanted. She is a musical powerhouse. We perform together so well that it is a real delight. I couldn’t be happier with the results”.

Catie adds, “I am very lucky, the Lord has blessed me with many wonderful teachers in my life.
I am so happy for all of the things that I have had a chance to learn, the people that I have met, and the opportunities that have been given to me”.
We have enjoyed the pleasure of Catie and Terry entertaining our members on several occasions over the past 3 years. Without fail, they create a grand atmosphere to compliment each event. Their huge talent mixed in with a humble nature and willingness to adapt and adjust as needed make them a true treasure. We plan to continue utilizing their services and I would highly recommend this duo to anyone.
