I have had a love for music for almost 60 years. I began playing piano at the age of 4, played clarinet in elementary and junior high, and bassoon in high school. I graduated from Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio with a Bachelor's in Music Merchandising, and a major in bassoon. I received a Masters in Education from The College of Notre Dame Baltimore. I have conducted church children's choirs, directed church programs, taught General Music in both private and public schools, and teach private lessons - guitar, strings, woodwinds, and piano for 20 years.
