My music education began in grade school and by the time I was in high school, I was participating in everything I could in the school music department. In college, at Austin Peay State University and Indiana State University, I earned a B.S. in Music Education, while performing in as many instrumental and vocal ensembles as possible. After graduation, I spent the next 20 years as a professional musician mostly in the Houston, Texas area. I retired from stage in 1994 and began my private teaching career. During that same time, I was busy co-writing songs to be re- corded and making notational arrangements for my students. After moving to Indiana, I was first published in 2007 by Neil A. Kjos Music Company in the \"Hymns I Know\" series. In 2012, Kjos published my first piano book for begin- ners \"Merry Christmas From Middle C\". In 2013, Kjos published \"Ragtime and Blues\" books one and two. In 2014, I self-published \"Give God the Glory\" books one and two, patterned after \"Merry Christmas from Middle C\". Now in 2015, I have self-published \"Jazzy Christmas Arrangements\",\"Jazzy Hymn Arrange- ments\" books one and two all meant for the intermediate church pianist. I am still teaching, performing and looking forward to future publishing projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 11.02 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740430864447,"sku":"9781523722853","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2a8d6e120601fb18cf2c1bce14d63afc.webp?v=1765160088","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/jazzy-christmas-arrangements-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
