Album Notes

Having spent almost my entire musical career in the world of classical music, the concert from which this CD was made feels like coming home. I began playing the piano at age 5. Within a few years, I was spending hours at the piano playing whatever music I could get my hands on. A lot of that was my mother’s music stacked by the piano in the living room of my parents’ home. Many of the songs I sing on this recording are from my mother’s original sheet music. I was born after these songs were written, but I have loved, played, and sung them all my life.

In between those childhood days and now were Bachelor and Master Degrees in Piano, a Doctorate in Voice, teaching at several colleges and universities, and many concerts and performances. However, nothing I have ever done has made me any happier than preparing this music to share with you.
