Harmony for Humanity

The purpose of this blog was to keep students, their families, and my friends aware of what is going on in my professional life. As I begin my retirement, the purpose will change.

I grew up in a wonderful town, Harvey, Illinois and had wonderful music teachers; I attended a number of universities, but DePauw and Loyola had the most impact on me. I enjoy finding old friends from New Orleans now, especially after H. Katrina.

A timely update!

Wow! I hadn't realized how long it has been since I posted. We have had a great school year! My 9th and Intermediate classes are so different yet so wonderful and full of potential. The Advanced Orchestra is coming together, as is Chamber. I miss not having Symphony this year, but perhaps we can for the Spring concert. The fundraiser went well, all the students were fitted for tuxes/dresses in time for the Harvest for Humanity concert. We dedicated it again this year to Daniel Pearl, and it was very well received. I am looking forward to our Winter Wonderland concert on December 15th. And last but not least, CONGRATULATIONS to Abby and Elizabeth for making Cobb County Honors Orchestra! Oh, and many thanks to Mr. Faulkner, Ms. Cicco and Mrs. Livingston for all their help in making things happen for me with the Orchestra!
