From there, she went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance at Western Michigan University under the guidance of Dr. Silvia Roederer. After graduation, she and her husband moved to California and spent almost 20 years there as a freelance pedagogy instructor, choir conductor, and performing musician, collaborating with a string quartet and local artists, most especially a San Francisco cellist, giving concerts around the country.
