New music alert: I have been working on a dozen new hymn arrangements. Times 13 ensembles. My Hymn books are extremely popular, so I decided to do a "Book 2." Times 25 if you count all of the duets and all of the trios. :-). The books are called "12 Favorite Hymns, Book 2" and are available both as duets and as trios. The songs in the new book are: Abide With Me, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, All Glory, Laud and Honor, Be Thou My Vision, Faith Of Our Fathers, His Eye Is on the Sparrow, Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee, Nearer, My God, to Thee, Now Thank We All Our God, Rock Of Ages, The Old Rugged Cross and We Gather Together.

The entire project is not finished yet, although many of the singles are done and listed, both on my website and on Sheet Music Plus/Sheet Music Direct.

"12 Favorite Hymns, Book 2" is available for these duets: alto sax duet; clarinet/bass clarinet duet; clarinet duet; clarinet/violin duet; flute/clarinet duet; flute duet; flute/oboe duet; flute/violin duet; recorder duet; trombone duet; violin duet and violin/viola duet. Nearly all of these duet books are listed, as are all of the singles.

For trios, there are: clarinet trio; flute trio; trombone trio; violin trio; 2 clarinets and bass clarinet; two violins and cello; two violins and viola; violin/viola/cello; alto sax trio; flute/clarinet/violin; flute/oboe/clarinet and flute/oboe/violin. Many of the single trios are ready and listed, and the books will be up as they are finished.

I have been writing and arranging music since the 80's. My main instruments are harp, piano and clarinet. I also play violin, finger-style ukulele, Native American-style flute, recorder, tin whistle and a smattering of many others.

My work reflects my love of writing for and playing a variety of instruments, as it includes arrangements for over 65 various solos and ensembles. I have also written an extensive library of learning materials for harp.

Most of my original music is centered around either harp or piano, although I've written and in the past, I wrote and recorded, many pieces using synthesizers and their vast array of sounds and effects. I also write a lot of commission pieces, for pretty much whatever small ensemble my clients need music for. If you have an ensemble and need some arrangements you can't find, please don't hesitate to contact me.

In my spare time, I write songs and make animated videos. My videos are an eclectic mix of my songs (including a few satire songs I was asked to write), my music promos, pet videos and cooking videos. My non-monetized YouTube channel contains 226 videos at last count.

I am an avid photographer and go hiking around nearly every day. Western Colorado is a marvelous place to live for people who love being out in nature.

Oh, and I adore my cat Heather, the stray who came to stay, so much that I wrote our story, in poems and prose, because I always wanted to have a Kindle book on Amazon.  I also love my bearded dragon Rayne, my leopard gecko Mango, and even my long-suffering husband!
