What would you like the OKCPHIL patrons to know about you? My husband and I started a non-profit called the Global Pedagogy Initiative. Our mission is to provide access to music education for those living in the developing world. So far we have worked with communities in Haiti, Tanzania, Thailand, and Columbia. This is my passion project!
