Two extraordinary events have taken place this year. First, the P.E.O. Founders’ Day
Celebration in Tacoma, WA in January 2014, and second, the P.E.O. Founders’ Day
Celebration on Mercer Island, WA. in March 2014. Both events were well attended
and both featured the same program: “The Piano Solos: A Tribute to the P.E.O. Founders”.

Some of the attendees commented that they were surprised at how different each piano
solo was from each other. For example: Franc Roads’ song is an aggressive march, but
Suela Penfields’ composition reflects the era of the Roaring 20’s.

Thankfully, I’m already booked in Ellensburg, WA for January 2015, but certainly looking for
other opportunities.

Composing with a first grade

On May 9th,2014 , its my great privilege to debut “Dear Grandparent, and Grand friends”  at Saint Matthew’s School.

The first graders chose their favorite style of music, their favorite melody line and then composed the lyrics!

The song covers an array of activities : from Grandma drinking tea, to spending birthdays and holidays with Grandparents and Grandfriends, to Grandpa napping all afternoon!  Well done first grade!
