The Other Muse
In youth, I studied cello, piano, and percussion. I sang in every choir in high school. College and early career meant a break, but I kept playing piano.
I've sung with the Cinnabar Opera chorus, Marin Opera chorus, Sonoma State's Bach Chorale and Jazz Ensemble, Marin Urban Harmony, a madrigal group, and at the bedside of the dying, among others. I've played percussion at Cinnabar Opera (even the wind machine), with a samba group in San Francisco at Carnaval, among others. Currently, I play with a wind ensemble and the Petaluma Community Band.
For many years I attended JazzCampWest and took classes at the Berkeley Jazzschool. Primarily I studied voice, but learned flute because I love Latin and Brazilian music. I now attend the acoustic California Coast Music Camp, an amazing community of old time, bluegrass, World, and swing players. At Moab Folk Music Camp I continue study of songwriting. I started local Ukulele Club, and oversee its Yahoo Group, Petaluke.
My main songwriting mentors have been Cosy Sheridan, Clive Gregson, Severin Browne, Christina Olsen, and David Roth. Charts of my songs will appear here in the future.
