ABOUT
**I am currently accepting students or performance engagements ONLY. Thank you!**
My early career as a concert musician began in the 1970's. I'm a working musician and musicologist/annotator, published at any given time in approximately 75-100 running technical and cultural publications. In early 2006 I was included in Who's Who in American Women and Who's Who in Education in America, and as of 2009 was included in the International Who's Who in Music.
I attended Wittenberg University (sacred music) where I studied conducting and orchestration with John Williams and Ian Polster, New York University for humanities, and the Mannes College of Music (MM classical performance and theory), where I studied with Robert Secrist, Frederic Hand, Charles Kaufman, Julius Levine, Yakov Kreizberg, Leo Edwards and Marie Powers.
I am also a classically trained singer, with experience in voice acting and narration.
