I have a B.A. in Music, Flute from Converse College. I started playing the flute when I was nine years old and have played in the 30+ years since. I have also taken lessons in clarinet, piano, and voice.
In elementary school, I tried to compose a piece for recorder. It didn’t sound like anything I wanted to play. The experience was so frustrating that I gave up composing until my mid-30s when I realized that writing modern classical art songs is a way to combine my talent in writing with my love of music. Now, I compose for flute, voice, and anything else I feel like trying. I believe that music is a benefit to anyone. Whether someone wants to become proficient at an instrument or only dabble in music theory, I am delighted whenever a person learns any musical skill. |

Leaf Peeping
"Leaf Peeping" is my response to discovering that people pay to go look at the same leaves that are in their backyard. My mind is boggled. Then I went on a weekend trip to the mountains a few hours from my town. The trip happened to be during peak leaf color. I began to understand the appeal, sort of. Maybe. "Leaf Peeping" is a playful protest song that gives the singer opportunity to play with character changes.
