Charles Mc Crone started the Kaleidoscope Music school in Issaquah, WA in 2005. He invited teachers whose vision and teaching style resonated with his-- a dynamic, modern approach combined with a love of music and kids. I joined the staff in 2006. Now, there are more than twenty teachers specializing in a wide variety of instruments. The school bustles with kids and adults offering rock classes, voice, piano, guitar, metal band...you name it! I've been teaching my east side (of Lake Washington) students there for at least 10 years and am continually impressed and grateful for his dedication and innovative approach.
My most recent press photos (main page) were taken by Melissa Fenno-- another lovely photographer from Seattle. She had a wonderful way of helping me to relax and goof off during the shoot-- which is when I look my best!
I first met Bootsy years ago outside my neighborhood coffee shop; she was trying to get into her car while holding her coffee and precariously balancing a large pile of hand printed photographs. From the moment I saw those photos I knew I wanted to work with her. Now she's famous and is still a pleasure to work with. She has an amazing eye, a great sense of style and is a generally lovely human!
