It is classical, jazz, and pop acts producing conventional forms who are academic — whether or not they went to music school or college. Bombarding the planet with image and sexual-lifestyle marketing does not make them any less boring. I am composing all of the instrumental parts with an app — no sampling. FYI: I never studied music composition. Live musicians — with me on piano — will perform the completed compositions. Growing up in York, PA, I was an advanced pianist, ballerina and painter — all three talents, music, athletic and visual, run in the family. I gave recitals and played jazz piano with the York High Jazz Band (which has produced a number of well-known musicians). During 1992 to '95, I performed blues piano at clubs with my guitarist boyfriend. However, I cannot stand playing any conventional genre of music — or music composed by someone else.

The photos of me playing the grand piano, at the top of this page, were shot spontaneously with an iPhone at the First Presbyterian Church of York, Pennsylvania in 2016. In childhood, I gave a Beethoven recital there. I was born and raised in York. The photos will be updated with professional photography.
