Mitch earned a Bachelor of Music degree (1982) in violin performance from The Catholic University of America's School of Music where he studied with Jody Gatwood and the late Robert Gerle. He has also studied Suzuki violin pedagogy with Ronda Cole and the late John Kendall, and traditional Irish fiddling with Brendan Mulvihill and Brian Conway among others. In October 2014, Mitch applied and was accepted to take Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann’s teacher diploma course in Ireland where he earned a TTCT certification (Teastas I dTeagasc Ceolta Tíre) in Irish music.

Mitch is founding director of the Bog Band, a group of young musicians, mostly fiddlers, who are mad for traditional Irish music, and is founding director of Musical Arts & Dance (MAD) Week, a world-renowned summer day camp and music festival, based in the Washington, DC, metro area, that celebrates traditional Irish music and dance every summer.

Mitch teaches classical violin and traditional Irish fiddling in his home studio in Silver Spring, Maryland and is also on faculty at the Washington Conservatory of Music, where he teaches classes in traditional Irish fiddling for violinists.
