Hi, my name is Joy. My favorite things include music, reading, animals, family, cooking, and the color blue! I fell in love with the piano when I was 8 years old. My musical adventures include performing in a university level handbell choir, earning a master's degree in piano performance, acting as substitute church organist, and being an occasional wedding pianist and/or organist (yes, I have done both in the same wedding on more than one occasion - wow!)
My philosophy of music is simple - the universe is full of music, from birds who sing and crickets who chirp to stars that nightly perform their rhythmic dance. Music has the power to soothe the soul, put a baby to sleep, and fill our entire being with joy. It communicates across all cultural and linguistic barriers.
Just as every person is different, music has a personal effect on everyone. It is my delight to come along side you as you explore and develop your own lifelong love of music.
Joy, M.A.
