School Is Starting

School is starting...and so is my website!  Today is finally the day that we launch the catalog.  I hope you enjoy browsing through it as much as I've enjoyed the process of creating it, along with the talented web team!

When I was a teenager, a boss of mine on a music staff asked me to arrange a ladies' trio....by TOMORROW!  I said, "I don't know if I can," and she said, "Just go DO it!"  I did, and the rest is history.

My late mother was my piano teacher, and when I was very young she noticed that I liked to experiment at the piano.  She was a stickler about notereading and detail in practice, but she also allowed me time to explore different chords and sounds as part of my practice time.  I'm so grateful!

My wonderful mentor and friend, Dr. Dwight Gustafson, had a lot to do with the process as well.  He taught a course in Graduate Composition, and it was in that class that I wrote "Lord, Send Me Anywhere," which became my first published piece more than 30 years ago.

If you haven't already, please keep reading my older blog, because it lists some of the "coming soon" projects. 

Let's Sing to Him....Play for Him....as Psalm 33:3 says!
