I Don’t Work For A Living, I Play
About Me
I started playing around with the piano when I was only three because….. well because my mom was a piano teacher and my dad was a piano tuner. Playing piano was kind of like breathing at our house.
When I was twelve I figured out that I really liked playing with others, so I started playing for my school choirs.
At 16 I started teaching other people how to play the piano when I took on my mom’s overflow of piano students.
At 18 I went off to college to study piano. I got a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from the College of Wooster in Ohio.
Then I married Mr. Wonderful, had three children, got my Master’s Degree from Michigan State University in chamber music and accompanying, and moved multiple times, finally ending up in Metro Atlanta, GA in 1989.
In 2012, after raising our family, I returned to my first love of playing with others and became a full-time collaborative pianist, which just means that I don’t work for a living, I play!
