About this user
Music has always enhanced my life. As I grew up music became my passion and vocation. I learned to play the piano and violin. When it came time for college, I majored in music theory. Later I had the opportunity to study composition with Stanley Wolfe at The Juilliard School, and I eventually received a Masters Degree in Music Composition from Brigham Young University.
Through turmoil or pleasure I always counted on music as a resource to get me through both the joy of life and its challenges.
Through these busy years of raising a family many tunes and ideas for songs got jotted down and then lost or forgotten for a time. How I wished for songs that we could enjoy as a family that would help me in my job of trying to raise responsible and caring adults.
Now as an empty nester and grandmother, I watch my children raise their own children. I am reminded of what a challenging and awesome responsibility it is to raise or help raise children, whether as a parent, grandparent, teacher, aunt, uncle or friend.
I began writing songs for my grandchildren--songs to inspire their imaginations, songs to make them dance and sing, songs that teach them values and how to approach life. That was the beginning of Children's Values Schoolhouse. As the list of songs grew, I wanted to share the musical joy not only with my family, but also with friends and other families in an ever-widening circle of acquaintances.
