Monika Woods received her musical training at the prestigious Gh. Dima Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania where she graduated with high honors and a Masters in Stylistics of Clarinet Performance.

An adventurer and dedicated lover of lilting melodies, soon she was playing Mozart duets on the streets of Provincetown on days off between summer-abroad jobs, and not long after that was performing at exhibits, benefit concerts, Cape churches, and as a featured clarinet soloist with the Chatham Chorale.
