This will be my 43rd year in teaching piano. I love teaching and have a one-year Certificate in Piano Pedagogy, and an Associate Degree in Commercial Art from Valley City State University, Valley City, N.D. My Bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance, and Level One Orff Certification is from the University of Mary, Bismarck, N.D.

Music Perceptions, is my music publishing company creating cool teaching tools and books for student learning since 1990, www.musicperceptions.com. Music Perceptions is  publishing fun interactive SuperScore Music books for the SuperScore app for the iPad. Also, Sheet Music Plus has some of my books for digital download.

Piano teaching is continuing online with private lessons, but I’m researching into ways to continue teaching in small partner student groups online. Piano and organ performance is continuing, live, at: Christ United Church of Christ in Dupo, Illinois and sometimes also at St. Luke’s Methodist Church in St. Louis. I’m often adjudicating for American College of Musicians - Guild; Mid-America Music Association; National Federation of Music Clubs and Achievement in Music Exams.
