Music Connects!
Thank you for sharing a piece of your musical story with us Ann!
“Playing oboe at summer camp inspired me to want to become a musician. I'm grateful for all of the wonderful instruction and inspiration I received from teachers through the years, and hope that I am also an inspiration for my students! I'm still friends with musicians I knew back in middle school and high school! Music continues to be a way we can connect online if not in person!”

Composer Series: Amy Beach
The second composer in our series—Amy Beach!
Amy Beach
9/5/1867 - 12/27/1944
Amy Beach was an American Composer and pianist.
Amy was capable of improvising counter-melody by age two, and at age four, she composed four waltzes for piano.
Beach’s “Gaelic Symphony” was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman.
Amy was one of the first US composers to have her music recognized in Europe, and THE first classical US composer to achieve success without the benefit of European study.
Our favorites:
Mass in E-flat (premiered 1890)
Gaelic Symphony (1894)
Sonata for Piano and Violin (1896)
Piano Concerto (1900)
Variations on Balkan Themes (1904)
