About

I have been teaching students since 1976. I have a Bachelor of Music Education in Choral Music from Florida State University and a Masters of Education in Music Education from the University of Florida. Also I did advanced studies in Music History, Literature, and Criticism at the University of Florida. I studied piano with Willard Brask. I also studied accompaning with Edith Campbell Kaup. For Voice my teachers were Edith Campbell Kaup, Yvonne Cianella and Elizabeth Graham (Professor Emeritus and former head of Voice Department at U.F.) I also taught Elementary Music for over 27 years. I have directed the South West Region Elementary Chorus and served as accompanist twice for All County Elementary Music Festival at the Srtatz Center in Hillsbourough County. I enjoy teaching piano and voice lessons at my home in Valrico.

I enjoy seeing students established in their gifting as a piano or voice performer. Getting students to the NEXT level is my goal with each student.
