music

I have been teaching music, either in public education or private lessons, for more than forty years. My mother always told me I sang a song before I took my first steps. I am first a vocalist, but I also play several instruments, including piano, organ and percussion. In addition to singing, I love acting and have appeared in many musical theater productions over the years.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, I am the third child of seven. Each of us was given the opportunity to participate in a musical group, either choral or instrumental. My brothers and sisters sing and most of them play at least one instrument.

Lancaster has been my home since 1980 when I married my late husband, Don. I have one four-legged child named Rosie, an eleven year old red dachshund.

Since coming to Lancaster, I have co-founded the Lancaster Chamber Choir, served on the Board of Directors for the Community Playhouse of Lancaster County, acted in and directed many shows for Community Playhouse of Lancaster County, and been involved with other community organizations.

I love to read, craft and spend time with my family. In case you didn't know, I am an avid Clemson Fan.
