In the schools today, there is a growing need for the fine
arts.  I believe that when we allow schools to cut funding
for such things as music and art, we are allowing them
to take away a part of our children's expressive abilities.

Below are some of the instruments I have learned how to
play over the years.  I have directed since 1997, and have been in
music theatre/theatre since 1997.  I started in music, with the
piano, in 1993.  Music taught me perserverence, hard work, trust,
teamwork, responsibility, and ownership of mistakes
and accomplishments.  Without music and art, I would not be
the same person I am today.

Not listed above are the Zills (finger symbols used for dancing),
directing of bands, the Oboe or English Horn, or my absolute love
of singing karaoke!  If you would like to learn more about any
of these listed instruments, difficulty, age recommended for
the start of practice, or cost, please email me.

I believe that EVERY CHILD can benefit from the knowledge of
music and the fine arts.  Is is a creative and NON-VIOLENT
way to teach our children how to communicate and express
their thoughts and feelings.
