When Janet was a child', she had many interests. She lived on a farm where her father owned 90 milk cows. One day her father bought her a horse. She named it Dulcy which means "sweet one". After school, she would run home and ride her horse, but first she always had to practice playing the piano.
When Janet was in elementary school, she also liked singing. She liked it so much that she decided to become a teacher and help children learn to sing.
When she was in middle school, she was asked to play in the church orchestra. Since she was very tall, she was advised to play the string bass, the, largest string instrument which must be played standing or sitting on a high stool. She was quite excited to learn to play the string bass. Janet always liked the sound of the orchestras heard on the radio, television, tapes, and CDs.
In high school, she would play the piano for the high school choir and sometimes sang for it. She played string bass in the high school orchestra and became so good at it that she was chosen to play in the state orchestra and even the national orchestra.
When she went to college, she continued her lessons in singing, string bass and piano. But becoming a music teacher was her goal. Upon graduation, she received a license to teach and has taught in Indiana, Washington, and Oregon. Every day she teaches children and plays the piano as she sings. She plays the string bass in the city orchestra directed by her husband, Dennis.
Her life is filled with the sounds of music, and she is a very happy teacher.
