I am aware of the many people that have a great desire to learn about music. I view it as a language. Once you are able to read write and speak (singing or playing) you are fluent in music. I graduated from the Eastman School of music in 1977 and have played in several bands and sung in a multitude of singing groups during my life. I have taught music in all its forms for 40 years.

I was also able to volunteer and teach in Chicago music institutions such as the Merit School of Music and Sistema Ravinia.

I hope to continue to learn from further interactions with the diverse community of musicians everywhere I go! Read More

At that point I also had a small private studio. Read More

My business included a music store studio space and traveling to some students' homesteaching violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, guitar and even ukulele! Read More
