About the artist
I have been writing and arranging music for 30+ years, mostly for church settings. I taught music(public school, private school, & college level) for a few years prior to becoming a pastor in a localchurch. Most of my writing and arranging has been for percussion ensemble but I have alsocomposed or arranged for wind ensemble, brass ensemble, choir, solo and small group voice, andvarious odd instrumental groups (e.g. flute, trumpet, violin, trombone; all at differing skill levels) toenable the musicians which were available to have something to play together.I also write exercises, small duets, and other bits for my students to assist them with their own skilldevelopment.Composing and arranging music is my way of relaxing and I enjoy it very much.
