Summary
A native Floridian committed to strengthening my already deep roots in the unique creative arts community that thrives in St. Petersburg. Over the past 20 years, I have taught music to hundreds of students in our city, ranging in age from babies to retirees in their 70s and 80s. I have performed as a soloist and in numerous bands, sung in choirs, led church and community music groups, and volunteered at schools, organizations, nursing homes and retirement communities.
