About the author
Born with an insatiable hunger to play the piano, it became a reality when I was 11 years old. There was something about the piano that resonated deeply within me…the colors, the styles, the depth, the emotions…an endless opportunity for expression. I was in awe of what could be spoken with 10 fingers and 88 keys.
I pursued a BM-Music Education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater to satiate my love of music and playing the piano. Upon graduation, I taught in the schools for a year and longer for my piano, so off to grad school I went. I completed my MM-Collaborative Piano at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and deepened my love for the vast variety of styles and moods I could portray through my fingers.
My passion for reading beyond the notes on the page yielded writing the notes themselves. I had no idea that there was a well-spring of 'words to be spoken' through my own composing. The journey continues, the path unfolds, and the echoes resound. It is with humble gratitude that I offer these pieces to you.
