About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be like Johnny Appleseed? To get my act together, take it on the road, and see what I bring home!

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop growing and never stop learning, it keeps your heart young and your soul wise. I'm a born teacher and giver in all that I do, even when I'm not "teaching". Music is an incredible gift. It is a language beyond words and a way of exploring deep within yourself as well as with others.

Interests

  • acting
  • concerts
  • music
  • piano
  • opera
  • teaching
  • history

Music, Movies, and Books

There are so many and depends on genre, but I'll force myself to narrow it down.

Favorite Movies: The Tenant (Roman Polanski), The Women (1939), What's Up Doc? (just because it makes me laugh and that's good)

TV: Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Lost

Favorite Music: Richard Strauss' DER ROSENKAVALIER, final trio.

Books: Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand), The Stand (Stephen King).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I reversed terminal cancer and lupus 14 years ago and I'm still here to talk about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach piano and voice. Have also taught music history, appreciation, opera, acting, improvisation, directing, etc . . . I'm also a naturopath who specializes in total body detoxification. Am also a member of Mensa. If you have a piano in your home, you'll get an incredible concert!
