I received a BS in music education from West Chester University in 1980.I became interested in piano technology while working for international schools in Papua New Guinea in the 80's There were about 20 pianos in my town of Goroka. Upon returning to the states I became an RPT and continue to attend conventions and chapter meetings to hone my skills. I also am a member of MTNA, PMTA, and the American College of Musicians. I teach classical piano, keeping between 20 and 30 students.
