I have had a life-long
passion to perform music! I started playing piano and singing in choirs at age five and started playing flute at
age nine. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Colorado State University and studied
an additional post-graduate year in flute performance. Since then, I have remained an active performer by playing
in community bands and orchestras, performing flute and vocal solos for church and private events, as well
as singing in church and community choirs and performing in various classic/country rock bands.
I perform flute and
vocal solos for weddings, churches, inspirational gatherings, group meetings and self-help workshops. I lead sing-along shows
for people with disabilities, seniors and children by singing, playing piano and flute. I have served as adjudicator
for solo and ensemble student music competitions. I have excellent sight-reading abilities on flute and
piccolo and enjoy playing in pick-up orchestras or small ensembles. I play background easy-listening piano music and
provide vocals at festive private events such as Christmas gatherings, wedding receptions and dinner parties.
Most recent performances include performing in the "Tulips" flute duo, playing flute and piccolo in the Seattle-based
"Cornucopia Band", conducting sing-along shows at the Renton ElderHealth Connection and singing lead vocals with
the classic rock band "Tracks of Time". I enjoy composing inspirational song lyrics and look forward to expanding
this avenue into CD recordings. My plans include singing lead vocals with another classic rock or country/rock
band, singing and playing keyboard with an upbeat inspirational musical group and playing flute in a classical ensemble.
