Early Memories

Being the youngest of 3, I was surrounded by music. My brothers already had piano lessons and were teaching me at age 2. My parents encouraged my musical interests. We saw live performances of people like Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Dave Brubeck and many others.

This was my groundwork for a life dedicated to music. I was lucky to have excellent music teachers to sharpen my skills. I will always cherish my moments with these fine musicians.
