Making music has been an important part of my life as far back as I can remember. I played modern flute through my school years and college. Over that time, I played repertoire from a variety of genres and enjoyed them all. As a teen, I bought a tenor recorder and used that as my instrument to bring camping and hiking. As a young adult, I slowly transitioned to recorder as my primary musical interest and started acquiring a wider range of recorders. I also started learning old-time banjo but found that my long work hours made it tough to make progress on two instruments. I am now retired from a long career as a social worker/psychotherapist. I worked in both public and private settings for several decades. In addition, I established my own practice and saw clients privately for almost thirty years. I feel lucky to have had such an interesting and fulfilling career, and also to have a world of music to enjoy in retirement. The luxury of time allows me to take recorder lessons, attend workshops, and participate in local ensembles. I try to play as often as possible. WRS continues to be a resource for meeting other recorder players, improving skills, and learning about the wider recorder world. I am happy to stay involved with WRS as we continue to evolve away from the lockdown of COVID-19 and develop the best mix of online and in-person experiences that we can offer.
