About The Teacher

BS - Towson University
Master's Equivalency - State of Md.

I am retired from the Anne Arundel County Public School System here in 
Maryland where I taught music at both Elementary and Middle School levels.
This is my 6th year teaching at Calverton.

On week-ends I am a pianist at St. John Vianney and Jesus The Divine Word 
Catholic Churches in Calvert County.
My piano work also includes involvement in weddings, funerals, and 
other parish events.

Also, I am the pianist for the Men's Fourth Degree Choir - Knights of 
Columbus - Archdiocese of Washington. This prestigious group received the 
Honorary Award for the State of Maryland.

Mission For The Class

I want all children to enjoy the gift of music that we have inside of us.
By learning about melody, harmony, tone color, form, and rhythm, the 
children will grow in their appreciation of all kinds of music.  By singing, 
dancing, and playing instruments, they will use their bodies to enhance 
their knowledge. 
But above all I want them to have fun.  There is nothing more beautiful 
than a smile on a child's face.
