Tietoja minusta Private teacher of piano and guitar. In my musical life I have worked as a lecturer, a secondary school teacher, choir director, band director, accompanist,copyist and writer. My career coincided with the raising of three children and I mostly chose to work part-time.
These days my main pleasure is reading books and reading about books.

Tietoja kirjastostani I have always been a reader but only started collecting books in 1994. Prior to that I was indiscriminate about lending them out and so lost quite a few. (I have a lot of music books which are not catalogued here.)
