Nice to meet you

I am a recently retired Regulatory Scientist and as a life long-learner I am now pursuing a BA in Music at Meredith College with an anticipated graduation in May 2026. My studies at Meredith have provided a deeper understanding of music theory and composition. As a flute player, many of my compositions include flute(s), but I have also written for voice and/or piano, as well as harp, violin and handbells. My ultimate objective is to combine competences from my multiple life experiences with newly honed skills as a musician to enhance civic and sacred music programs via fresh compositions and arrangements for instrumental and choral performance.
