Founded in 1998,  CAM Publications supplies string teachers - and independent learners - high quality curricula to supplement and support their chosen approach or method. The ideas for these materials arise from Amy Matherly’s extensive experience as a violin teacher and have been translated into book form through the artistic and technical talents of Christopher Matherly.

 

Amy has been teaching violin to students of all ages since 1982. She currently serves on the faculty of the Pakachoag Music School of Greater Worcester in Massachusetts and directs the Pakachoag Fiddle Band. From 2010 to 2023, she was the school’s Suzuki Program Coordinator.

A Suzuki Specialist and retired Teacher Trainer with the Suzuki Association of the Americas, Amy was awarded the SAA Certificate of Achievement in 2013. She has also contributed numerous articles to the American Suzuki Journal.

Her lifelong passion for the violin has shaped decades of performing and teaching standard repertoire, developing accessible approaches to violin technique, and exploring fiddle traditions. In 1998, she and her husband, Chris (guitarist, composer and recently retired attorney), founded CAM Publications to share her pedagogical ideas..

 

Amy and Christopher have been living and playing music together since 1984.
