Music for Adults and Children Welcome to my website. You can view here a list of my published compositions.
You can also see what else I've been up to, other titles and genres I have written, and ultimately purchase material from
me directly. If you have questions or comments, I will be happy to receive and respond to e-mails. If items appear
as "pending" and you would like to have access to them soon, let me know and I will expedite their completion.
I look forward to serving the needs of the elementary education community, and
also the adult choral community. I hope this site will enable me to communicate directly with people who use my music
so that I may address your needs in my creative output.
I retired in 2007 from a full time elementary music teaching
job, for which I did a lot of composition work. In addition to writing and arranging for my choirs I also wrote and
produced at least three musical performances each year. Many of these are about topics that are in the grade-level classroom
curricula, which got great buy-in from the classroom teachers, and were very fun for me to write because I got to learn so
much while I was writing them. For a couple of years after retirement I didn't do much writing because
I was caring for my ailing mother, who passed away in 2009. Now I am hoping to get back in the swing of preparing existing
manuscripts for sale, and creating new ones. My latest composition was for the Women's
Voices Chorus in Durham/Chapel Hill, North Carolina. One of their wonderful second altos commissioned me to write music
to commemorate her mother, who had passed away in 2006. The work was in 3 parts and was entitled "Sparks of Divinity."
It was premiered in the Duke Chapel on May 1, 2010, and I was thrilled and honored to be in attendance.
