I recently had the opportunity to go to Europe this summer for two weeks and went to Paris, Florence and a number of places in Germany.  To see some of my pictures I took while I was there click here.

 

This is my sixth year teaching orchestra at McCants Middle School now.  I grew up here in Anderson and recieved my Bachlors in Music Composition from the University of South Carolina.  I play the violin and viola with the GAMAC Orchestra and Anderson Symphony Orchestra. 

 

Since I have a degree in composition, I like to write music for my school orchestras.  This has led me to have one of my works published by Alfred Publishing.  The piece is called "String Celebration".  I wrote this piece for one of my string classes.

When I graduated from college, I thought that my greatest passion was composing, but once I began teaching, I knew that I had a new passion.  I think the middle school years are the most impressionable years for any student.
