Gentle Shepherd: My goal in making curriculum is to provide materials that are easy to work with for both kids and parents, and that are generally creative-oriented. Most of the materials are curriculum I used over 25+ years in teaching some/all of my own kids, and what's on the website now is just the beginning-- there are lots more existing files that I'm in the gradual process of turning into books and e-books. Songwriting: I have composed songs over many years, but didn't start looking into bringing them to the public until just recently. Now am learning more about the music business, and starting to explore home recording. I love music, and like the creative challenge of songwriting and also am beginning to become a performer-- working in both visual arts and music is awesome!
