Voice, Piano
My Background in Music:
My inspiration first started when I was seven years old and in second grade. I was pondering if I wanted to dedicate myself to the music field. A substitute piano teacher came in that day and played and my admiration decided me to pursue this ambition for my life work. I studied and played guitar and autoharp as a child because of our lack of piano. The guitar was a gift and I played it for years and studied vocal music throughout school. When I was a young teenager I started playing with a group that I met in a barn and I was thrilled. I played in groups and studied privately with such greats as Michelle Barone Horsefield as well as with Don Hales. I trained with studio musicians such as the Scott Steeleman Studio and continued playing for my friends and family as well as various organizations.
Education:
When I was a little older I started studying at the Community Music School at Capital University in Columbus Ohio. I studies with Joan Hall Huet and enjoyed her style and training as well as Steve Caricciola out of Capitol who played organ and taught me composition. Those are only a few of the wonderful teachers with whom I trained. When I was studying, there came an opportunity for me to study and work with the founding member of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. He was Mr. Robert Buchsbaum of Coronet Recording Studio. I came into his studio to make a demo tape and he offered me a job. He was a fantastic engineer as well as the finest of oboists. He and I talked music for nine years together. I worked with him in so many countless ways, it would take a book to explain everything musically that I was exposed to during that time. I continued to play as well as help in the studio whenever I was needed. I recorded and wrote many original pieces and became copyrighted as well as a member of BMI and ASCAP. I won the USO talent show in 1985 and was offered the possibility of travel, but I chose to stay in Columbus. I was very blessed to have met many of the finest professors in Columbus, as they were a part of our Artist-In-Residence Series in the studio. People such as Rosemary Platt, a professor of Ohio State University, Paul Droste, TBDBITL and retired to OSU marching band director. I continue to play musically with a few local musicians and write music and will continue to be an active force in the music field as well as teach other people how to be fine musicians.

My goal is to expand your knowledge into a lifetime love for the music field and not to frustrate you with seemingly impossible tasks.
