My interest in music began seriously when I discovered classical music, at about age 9 or 10.
 
My main interest in music is jazz, particularly jazz from the bop era, and also swing.
 
I have just recently began studying opera as well. These following pages will focus on classical, jazz and opera music, along with information about composers, performers, symphonies, music reviews, recordings, and performance venues.
