Raised in a family of professional musicians, Rowen received a lifelong music education—she could sing before she could speak and started studying violin at the age of five. She studied composition, arranging, and orchestration with renowned Nashville orchestrator, arranger, and composer Carl Marsh, studied violin performance with Elisabeth Small at Belmont University, and later continued post-graduate violin studies with the late Roberto Cani, former concertmaster of the Los Angeles Opera.
