Now in my twenty-first season as Director of Orchestras at Ball State University and Music Director of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. I'll give master classes in conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in London this March, my conducting textbook has just been published in Taiwan, and I conduct Amahl and the Night Visitors in Japan in November. Last summer I attended a reunion of students who took my course at Tanglewood twenty years before.

I am a homeschooling mother of four, living in Gainesville, GA. I continue to play violin and saxophone and sing at church, with my husband of eighteen years. My two oldest are learning clarinet and trumpet, respectively--and my youngest wants to learn the violin and flute! All are learning guitar, piano, and a little bit of drums on the side.
