Music has been a huge part of my life. My Dad was a "song and dance" man in the Yiddish theatre in Romania and briefly in Toronto until my Mother told him to get a real job. I was exposed to all kinds of music growing up and took the mandatory piano lessons and played the flute in the high school band and orchestra, where participating in the Kiwanis Festivals was a highlight of my high school years.
I incorporated my love of music in my career as a kindergarten teacher (and sometimes choir director)-playing and singing my way through to my retirement. One night several years ago at a bridge game, I mentioned how much I'd love to be in a band and pick up the flute again-one of the ladies told me about her friend Dahlia [Solomon] and Resa's Pieces. A real stroke of luck! We had a good laugh about the state of my embouchure and I called Resa. I'm thrilled to be making music again and sharing the camaraderie of our band.
