Music Background:
(such as: your start, experience, education,
mentor, inspiration, interesting or humorous personal story,
accomplishments) |
Started playing the flute back in the 5th
grade and played through high school and some in college. Took private
lessons from Roger Eckers in high school. I hope that my sticking with
flute/piccolo after all these years will be an inspiration for my upcoming
musicians (Tyler – euphonium, Christie – clarinet, Mandy – saxophone,
Lindsay – “retired” flute and piano, but Mom is still hopeful for a return
to music!).
I also started playing piano a few years ago - took
lessons for a while and now just ‘dabble’ in my ‘spare time’, which
unfortunately isn’t a lot right now! Some day ….
