| Introduction | My interest in music can be traced back to my toddler years - I have photographs of me at the age of two - in diapers, playing 45 rpm records on a phonograph. I started piano lessons rather late (at the age of ten) and studied at Jacksonville (Alabama) State University, earning a bachelor's degree in piano performance. I also compose, preferring to write music with my students in mind. |
