Welcome to my new WordPress site! I am very excited about sharing my love of music, nature, and cooking through this blog. Prior to my retirement in 2017, I taught music in a New Jersey high school. Since moving to Florida, I continue to work in the field of music, as a Choir Director / Organist in a church. When not practicing organ or rehearsing the choir, I love to play with my dogs, Samson and Peanut, wander around in my garden, read books on history, cook Italian food and crochet.
