Background

Why did you choose to work at WCM?

I wanted colleagues, and to be a part of something larger than just having a home studio.

What year did you start working at WCM?

1987

Describe a musical experience or teacher that had a positive impact on you.

When I was 12, my piano teacher suggested that I might like to try playing chamber music. She had heard good things about a small music camp in the Berkshires that emphasized chamber music. I went that summer, and I was hooked–getting to play music with FRIENDS! It’s still my favorite form of music-making, these many years later.
