Happy New Year 2026

As each chapter of the year ends and a new one begins, just want to say thanks for your support for 2025. I'm so blessed and grateful for all that each of you have done to make this year so special. The summer camps of Disney Villians music and choreography, the fun of doing Snow White Lite again as a short 2 hour camp and ending with music, staging and choreography from Mary Poppins was life-changing for me. Especially the costuming for Mary Poppins made the camp so outstanding, thanks to Diana. Being able to accompany at various schools and at McConnell Air Force Base (for Missoula Children's Theater), to serve the educators and students was an incredible treat. I always feel humbled and blessed to serve the school district and McConnell Air Force Base. Playing for Matida Jr. at the school I accompany for was a "stretch" as a musician and choreographer. Yet grateful for the chance to advocate for their success.

Plus my students were able to perform with larger groups this year with some in-person and online lessons. The Halloween and Christmas events advocated for the students' success, as they were able to share music they loved, playing characters they will cherish throughout their lives. I'm so proud of the students.

2025 opened up doors for me to compose short piano solos and I'm anticipating even more with the years ahead, Lord willing.

Wanted to end with a piano solo from Soul called Epiphany. Hopefully while you're relaxing, you can enjoy this solo, reflecting on all the incredible gifts we're given each day. Thanks for your support and hopefully we'll see you next year. Blessings.
