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.

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.

Marquis Who’s Who Concluding Thoughts
