I love it when a song or piano piece "flows" to me. It's kind of like hearing a song on the radio, but I'm just lucky enough to be the one to "hear" it first, and then I get to play it first. It's a great process!
On this website you will find Dance music, powerful Love Songs, beautiful and memorable Piano Music, Free Sheet Music Downloads, and much more.
My hope is that my music will take you to a place where you will feel lifted, and you will walk away a better person after listening.
ENJOY!

I was so small when I was born that my mother was asked, "Why did you even bother?" I'm glad she did, although being her 4th child in less than 4 years,it must have been hard. I eventually had 6 brothers and a sister. Even though we didn't have much, my parents managed to give me piano lessons and opportunities to learn music, but I mainly spent my childhood climbing trees, fending off obnoxious brothers and dressing up like a princess.
After graduating from College, I began my graduate work, where I met my Husband, Elbert. I've always maintained that he is the PERFECT man, and he's never disappointed me. He was the inspiration for many of the love songs that I have written.
We have lived in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Chihuahua Mexico; El Paso, Tx; Monterrey Mexico, and currently, Alpine, Utah. Each place has allowed me to access new ideas in rhythm and lyrics as my opportunities have expanded.
In my adult life, I have had hundreds of melodies play in my mind day and night, until I can notate or record them in some way. It is the only way to make them stop. When I can get to a piano, the song usually just "plays" through me onto the keys. I consider this process of "hearing" and creating music a sacred trust. At these moments of creation, I feel connected to a higher source. Tapping into this spiritual energy that flows through me is one of the most joyous things that I have ever experienced.
