Right now I play Cello in the Consort l’Anciene. We meet weekly to practice, and play for several charity fundraisers a year, including Christmas on the Mountain at Burrit for the last seven years. We specialize in medieval and Renaissance music, but also play newer music, particularly Scottish and Irish.

We played for several years at Isom’s Orchard for their annual October dinner.

I also tutor violin.

I had fun helping this young guy and his grandmother learn.

Trying out the tiny violin my young student uses.

Just for good measure, here are piano pictures from way back. I took lessons from the incomparable Mrs. Marianna McCoy for 12 years before I added other stringed instruments. I want to thank Mrs. McCoy for all that she taught me about Music, Focus, Being Polite, Perseverance, and Practice!
