I maintain a  private piano teaching studio in my home. My students range from ages

6 - 68, studying both classical and non-classical  idioms, including jazz, pop, blues, and rock.

I  am a member of the Music Teachers’ Association of California, formerly serving as Vice-President, director of the Bach Festival,  and Cal Plan Chair.

I have been playing music professionally since the age of twelve. I worked my way through college by playing rock and jazz gigs in New Orleans and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I have taught classes at Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA, since 1987. I also teach at San Diego Mesa College.

I wrote, produced, did musical direction,and performed in two original  musical theater works, The Delta Queen, and Storyville, a Sweet, Sportin’ Proposition.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Music  from the University of New Orleans,
