Yes, my profile name was inspired by the Billy Joel tune "A New York State of Mind" and my love of acoustic and electrified acoustic instruments.___________ I am a classically trained musician, yet I love many different genres of music. I live and breathe music - I'm totally lost if I don't have my iPod.________ Through passion, compassion, integrity, creativity, and commitment, I strive to illuminate and nurture aspiring musicians on their own path of self-discovery and self-expression.________ I have been a clinician representing both a music print publisher company and piano manufacturers.___________I am a 3 time cancer survivor, and those events have evolved in the way I look at life.
