I am a 1964 graduate of Ball State University in voice and choral conducting. I got a master's in music ed. and choral conducting at Teacher's College, Columbia in 1968. I spent 28 years teaching Orff Schulwerk in the Nyack, NY public schools until my retirement. I am currently working as organist/choir director at Scarborough Presbyterian Church in Briarcliff Manor, NY. See: http://www.scarboroughchurch.com/ I am married to Christine Potter, a poet, and we live on a creek in a restored 1740 farmhouse with our two half siamese cats Desmond and Molly Jones. Molly also writes poetry. See: http://www.umbrellajournal.com/summer2007/bumbershoot/cat_tales/MollyExplainsItAllForYou.html Desmond likes to play the organ with me when I practice, and complains bitterly when I stop.
