Holly is an educator and performer in the Centra Florida area. She has been performing on upright bass in jazz, classical, country, rock, you name it, for many years. She started her career in middle school teaching herself wih an occasional coach coming in to adjust habits. She auditioned and was accepted into the program at Otterbein University in Music Business and Jazz Studies. She then went on to New York Unversity for her Graduate Studies in Jazz Performance. After the birth of her first child, she moved to Florida to begin her education career. After seeing the talent in her students, she wanted to do all that she could to show them that music could be a viable career. Thus, Cordero Music was born.
