Occupation Music Educator
Location WV, United States
Introduction I'm a Band and Choir Director at a middle school in West Virginia. My principle instrument is piano, and I'm sure I couldn't go for more than a week without being able to play some sort of instrument. I also play the flute, guitar, ukulele, trumpet, and sometimes I make screechy noises on a violin. I LOVE art and making art...I draw a lot of very meticulous things with ink pens. I also enjoy painting. I love being around people and I typically have a lot to say. :) I am the youngest of three girls, and my parents have been happily married since 1981. I have three nephews, Joseph, 5, Easton, 2, and Levi (born Jan 8, 2012). I have a chocolate labrador retriever named "Peppermint Patty". She sits on the back porch swing with me while I play the ukulele or violin.

Favorite Movies August Rush, Anything Disney, Disney/Pixar, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, The Women, A League of Their Own, Anything else based on a true story, and most romantic comedies
Favorite Music Popular: Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Eagles, Beatles, Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Maroon 5, ...many many more standard lit for piano/concert band, etc.: Gershwin, Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Kabalevsky, Grieg, Rachmaninoff, Vivaldi, Palestrina, Schumann, Strauss, Paganini, Kuhlau, Holst, Debussy, Haydn, Handel, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Albeniz, Grainger, Aaron Copland, R. V. Williams, John Williams (movie soundtracks), Mahler, Shostakovitch...That's a lot... Overall, I think I prefer the romantic era of music most, and I favor 20th century quite a bit. I'm very very picky and opinionated when it comes to music because I am a musician.
