Music has allways been a part of my life.  I was born into a family that music was important as part of life. My mom played the piano and would play something -- lets say a waltz and we kids would waltz around the room, or she would play a march and we would go marching around.  Mom was teaching the neighborhood kids piano and my older sister wanted to learn, so she started to teach her and as I got old enough, began to teach me.  We always sang in the children's choir at our church.  When I got old enough to start the band or orchestra at school, I picked Clarinet--it was black and had a lot of keys on it. We always had lessons on our instrument of choice--consequently  I was always top in the band. When we moved to Boulder I started to take lessons from the clarinet professor at the University.  At the age of 14 or 1 I was playing in the University band at CU during the summer and attended the music camp the university had for middle school and high school kids.  After High school, I attended school at CU in the College of Music as a music performance major playing both clarinet in the band  and recorder in their early music group.  After college I started teaching both clarinet and recorder.”
