I was raised in Indiana. I attended Austin Peay and Indiana State Universities and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in music education. I played professionally in Houston, Tx for nearly 20 years, before starting a teaching business, which I have done now for 17 years. I have been back in Southwestern Indiana since 2006 giving piano and guitar lessons to homeschoolers and afterschoolers in the student's home.
I had a few children's pieces published in the "Hymns I Know" series by Kjos Publishing Co. Now I enjoy writing instrumental music and arranging serious pieces and hymns in public domain for myself and my students. I would be glad to take orders to do custom arrangements, but only of pieces in public domain. (publish date before 1922)
I have found several of my arrangements being offered at other web sites. I would be glad for you to link your site to this one, but please do not post my work for download at another site. Thank you. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)

Interest : Skill level : Thank you! I've been looking
for a version that doesn't
have a million flats in it.
Our old organist only played
hymns with flats, so
everything sounded the same.

Interest : Skill level : Thank you! My Unitarian
Universalist minister in
Falmouth, MA, the town where
Katherine Lee Bates was born
and in which a street is named
for her, has us sing this
frequently. I can improvise a
little off the sheet music. I
tried it without music last
week, and got a little mixed
up on the chords for "above
thy fruited plain." You have
saved me!
Interest : Skill level : I love this piece and I
finally found it. I've been
looking for so long to find
the right one and I found
it!!! thanks for providing it.
