After a lifetime of music, I am now a music teacher. I traveled with the Sevengettes, an all-girl band, to every state in the union and to 42 countries. After marriage, I played for 44 years with the Plymouth Community Band, and formed a four-piece swing group to play for nursing homes and senior houses. Music is a love that becomes a passion, and I am now trying to give that knowledge and passion to a new generation. Theory is hard to understand, but bright tots and those of other ages will enjoy their music so much more if they know what they are creating and understand what they are doing. Music Theory for Little Einsteins and Big Dummies was written to help young and old learn and understand the science of music. It was written in a down-to-earth way as if I were speaking to someone seated across from me. Many of my students are enjoying the music in their lives and find it fills a great need.
