Aloha, I am a native of Connecticut and a graduate of the Universtity of Connecticut with degrees in Music Performance and in Education.\u00a0 Upon graduation I taught in the East Harford, CT public school system before moving to Miami, Florida where I taught elementary school.\u00a0 In 1986 my family moved to Hilo.\u00a0 After 15 years as the music teacher at Chiefess Kapiolani School I came to K.S. and began my sharing my love of music with the keiki on our beautiful campus.<\/p>\n
Music has always been an important part of my life, I began studying piano at the age of 6.\u00a0 In Junior High School I joined the band and was placed in the percussion section where I remain to this day playing in various community ensembles in my spare time.\u00a0 The love of church and music melded in college when I began formal organ lessons. I have enjoyed being an church organinst in Connecticut, Florida and here in Hilo. Although I\u00a0 no longer have time to have a regular position I enjoy substituting for area churches when called.<\/p>\n
In my free time I love traveling to see my three daughters on the mainland, playing with my four grandchildren, sewing, cooking, swimming, reading, walking, interior decorating, and spending time with my wonderful family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
