I am sure many are wondering why I have begun writing. I have kept a journal for as long as I can remember. Over my schooling years I enjoyed any assignment that included writing a paper or essay. Many do not know that as a freshman in college I was very close to switching my major from Music Education and Piano Performance to English Literature. I loved the intensity of reading, researching and writing long papers my freshman English class provided me. In the end, I stuck with music and enjoyed 20+ years of teaching and directing. I never thought I would sway from music, but here I am. I am writing and thoroughly enjoying it.
