My journey with music has been........
a search for the purity of a simple melodic line......a fascination with the study of different musical instruments and musical styles......a call by the language of the heart to explore inner dimensions of the spiritual realm.... Throughout my childhood music was the only language, the only reality, that I could really understand. Subsequent years have been an adventure led and governed by a passion for music in all its myriad forms....and I have followed wherever the muse has led.... From early school interests in dixieland jazz and baroque ensembles to university studies in contemporary classical music and then a developing passion for “world music” that led to extended stays in Japan and Brasil......and from there to the simplicity of devotional song..... Ultimately this search has led me to the edge of silence and back, and I’m happy to share this journey with you......
