I was inspired musically by my mother, a singer, and my grandfather, a ragtime pianist. My father was a music lover, too, and liked to point out that he was the one who paid for my lessons!
In my journey as a musician I have been a music educator, have accompanied instrumentalists and dancers, played for music theater, and performed in churches, retirement communities and for other events. Many years ago I even spent a little time as a singer-songwriter in Nashville, TN.
At this juncture in my life, though, I am finding solace in creating pieces that speak to the heart and induce peace and tranquility. Nature is what inspires me creatively - in my music, poetry, and photography. The combination of all of those for me is healing, and again, my focus now is putting those vibes out into the world to help others in some small way. Healing is not about “curing” anything. It is just about being able to relax and let the body do what it does naturally.
I am grateful to all those who have supported my music through the years, especially the Wellness Directors and Recreation Therapists who have used my music to enhance their programs. I am also grateful to my teachers - Jonathan Goldman and Dr. Dan Lobash, My other influences have been Dr. John Beaulieu, Laraagi, Vicki Dodd, Susan Go
I am grateful to all those who have supported my music through the years, especially the Wellness Directors and Recreation Therapists who have used my music to enhance their programs. I am also grateful to my teachers - Jonathan Goldman and Dr. Dan Lobash, My other influences have been Dr. John Beaulieu, Laraagi, Vicki Dodd, Susan Goldstone of the Kairos Institute, Christine Kaoverii Weber, and the late Dr. Mitchell Gaynor. I would also like to thank Bob Morrison, James Sigmon, Leonard Seeber (UCONN) as well as the late Cantor Arthur Koret and Helen Hubbard from Hartt College. Last but not least, I owe a big thank you to Mr. Werner, who was my first piano teacher.
Currently I am working on a CD of relaxing standards for S & S Worldwide. It will feature hits from the 70's & 80's. Sometime soon I will begin a new instrumental CD, My last CD, “Sunset Over the Mountains” features Native American Style flutes and pan flute. Again, I focused on relaxing, healing music that soothes the soul. Stay tuned!

Again, I focused on relaxing, healing music that soothes the soul. Stay tuned! Last year, "Canopy of Blue," another instrumental CD, was released by STOMP music of Seoul, South Korea on May 31st. (Stomp Music released a hit single by Yiruma in the movie "Twilight.") Canopy of Blue is relaxing piano with Native American style flute. The Folksong Favorites CD with Vocal Toning for Wellness, tailored especially for wellness directors, is now on the S & S website! Plans are in the works to teach a class to activity professionals so that they can lead successful programs themselves! https://www.ssww.com
