Thank you for visiting SoundBeacon Music and Performing Arts!
I am so excited to share music and stories with you! I started writing music in 1998. The very talented Steve Jones, who was Music Minister at Westlake Bible Church at that time, generously encouraged me when I handed him my first set of lyrics and said, "I've got this melody and these words, so can you can just play something that goes with this, so we can present it in worship?" :) I had no idea what I was asking for at the time. Steve made it look so effortless to come up with chords to go with my melody and he was always so willing to help me. It was many years later, after I had worked with many more talented musicians and tried my own hand at composing, that I began to understand what a gift God provided me in this person, Steve Jones! Without Steve, I don't know how (or even if) I would have continued down my songwriting path.
As I add to this blog, I will mention other amazing people who have taught and mentored me over the years. For now, I want to thank YOU for stopping by.
I hope you find something that will inspire you today!
