I grew up in Northwest Indiana, and graduated from Indiana University with an Bachelor of Music and Doctor of Music. I attended the University of Northern Iowa for my Master of Music degree. My primary instruments are euphonium, piano, and trombone. I moved to Texas in 1995, and for 21 years I was a full-time, tenured university professor, first at Del Mar College, and then at Southwestern University. Presently I enjoy teaching piano lessons to adults at my home.
I am as fascinated with technology as I am with music. I offer lessons on piano, general music study, music recording, and chord reading. In terms of technology, I offer assistance with iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, and photo organization.
My puppy, Dali, has grown up (sleeping) next to the piano, but during lessons she is always in another room
