Introduction
I’m honored to announce that I’ve been included in the Marquis Who’s Who biographies. Click here to read the press release: https://www.24-7pressrelease.com
The biography at the link above briefly covers all of my music career. However, it was my work with LD, ADD, ASD, and special needs students that caught their attention. This led them to decide to include me in their listing.
Above all, my work with color coded multisensory teaching strategies has allowed me to effectively teach students who would struggle with a traditional music teacher.
What’s the Marquis Who’s Who Listing?
Marquis has been publishing Who’s Who biographies since 1899. It started as volumes that graced the libraries of universities and colleges, corporations, law firms, and media. The biographies have since expanded to include an online platform.
“[It] provides up-to-the-minute biographies of leaders and achievers from around the world in the areas of business, law, science, medicine, the arts, government, [and] entertainment…”

Marquis Who’s Who Concluding Thoughts
As I mentioned, Marquis included me because of my work with LD and autistic students. Even still, as you can see from the previous section, the lives of many great people have been chronicled in the Who’s Who biographies. I remain humbled to be included among them.
