LPs, CD, 78s, and many instruments of varied kinds.

This collection reflects not only my personal musical interests but was put together through the years with consideration for what might be interesting and valuable to hundreds of students.

I have thousands of LPs, CDs and even some 78s that can be played on our wind-up console Victrola. Plus, 35 years of teaching music has seen me acquire: 3 violins, 2 violas, a trumpet, cornet, 2 trombones, 6 Native American flutes, a full consort plus sundry plastic soprano recorders, 4 guitars, 4 ukuleles, a banjo and percussion instruments ranging from small hand percussion to timbales and congas. Not to mention 2 electric keyboards. Along with this is a large and eclectic score and sheet music library.

Mostly spread about the house much to my wife's consternation.

Most of my instruments were acquired in the course of my years teaching and have been used be myself and hundreds of my students. My recorded music collection is eclectic and reflects not only personal taste but educational resource to my students.
