"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and
the refreshment of the soul.
If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music but a diabolical bawling and twanging."

 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

About My Music

I have a great love and passion for music, performing and listening.  One may ask how does a blind person learn music?  Most of my music is learned through reading braille music, memorizing that music, and learning the piece.  Although I have a good ear for music, I do not have the gift of playing totally by ear.  I can't just hear something and play it perfectly.  My music is learned through much memorization, study, and hard work. I hope to share with others my music and love for the art through concerts, teaching, and recordings.  I hope to have a couple of cd's out within the next year.  Check back for information on their availability.
