About

Piano Fun Player came out of my dream to share my love of music.  My academic training was a MS, California State Univ. Los Angeles, and  PhD, UCLA in the areas of psychology, counseling and teaching.  My previous career path was as both as a psychology professor and university counselor.  Even as I earned a living being in the academic field, the artistic, creative appeal and sound of music would be my "ongoing other life" reality. 

Through my psychology teaching and counseling, I worked to take lessons and in the summers and to go to music camps.  Eventually I would return to school, audition twice, enroll and graduate with a music degree from El Camino College.

Along with having the opportunity to study jazz piano, I would also learn to play the "steelpan", and would become a member of a steel drum band for 11 years.  In 2020, the covid situation would curtail and fuel the end of the steel pan experience.  So now, I'm learning to incorporate my "pan" playing into other musical avenues.

In many ways, "Piano Fun Player", has become my mission for inspiring and bringing the importance of music into the world. I endeavor to encourage people who come into my studio, to reach for the potential and possibilities that dwell within each person.  The life-long study and playing of music has the capacity to activate the deepest creativity within every person.
