I had teachers in high school to point me in the direction of the University of Indiana School of Music, and after IU, I went on to study at the Academy of Arts in Philadelphia. I graduated in 2006.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I graduated. I did History of Art, you know, all those things - American Studies - and then I went to art school, and I did Joseph Alvarez in the art school.
I grew up studying music. I went to conservatory.
I grew up in Indiana. My first four years of elementary were in the gym where Coach Wooden went to high school.
I attended a post-college program in L.A. for Music Business and Production. Took several courses involving Music Production, Arrangement, and Songwriting.
I have a degree in music, yeah, from the University of Montana. I studied voice and composition and conducting and all that.
I came to L.A. in 1970, and my desire and my training was to be a studio musician, which I had read about in my senior year in high school.
I'm from Washington state - a pretty small town there called Puyallup. I was really into the arts there. I sang in choirs and did singing competitions. I also did a whole lot of theater; I did high school, and then I started doing some community theater. I decided that was the kind of thing I wanted to study in college.
When I graduated from high school, I got accepted to York University, Fine Arts film program.
I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.
I had gone to the High School of the Performing Arts in New York City.
