Education

I am honored to have served as a music educator for forty years; indeed, teaching continues to be a precious element in my life. Should you be interested in learning about woodworking, I offer both a one-session introductory lesson to woodworking (Morning in the Studio), and options for continuing lessons. I also offer woodworking consulting services, such as developing skills to set up and use specific tools.
