The trajectory of my life is about to change.
And you are a BIG part of that change.
Those who know me well know that I
don't handle change easily. I rarely
take risks. I don't often do things
I am not good at.... and... I can be
a bit stubborn.
...but life has funny ways
of shaking our trees a
little bit...
Hopefully this website will shed
some light on just what the heck is
going on in my little world... and
why I feel the need to broadcast it
all over the internet.
I teach elementary school music... and I am 100% convinced that it is what I have been designed to do. I am like a small child at Disneyland every moment I get to create music with my 1st-5th grade students. Orff Schulwerk-- the approach to music education I am certified to teach-- is, in my opinion, the BEST way to educate students in music and movement.
The Orff Institute is located in Salzburg, Austria. Every two years, they offer a Special Course in Advanced Music and Dance Education for current , Orff Certified music teachers. Offered to 15 educators in the World, I have been lucky enough to have been selected! You see, if Orff Schulwerk was a swimming pool, I'd be on the first step in the shallow end. There is so much more I can learn and experience. That is why I am leaving my job and jet-setting to Austria for the 9-month program.
This is where YOU come in. I am having an incredibly hard time convincing the US Banks, as well as the federal government that I should qualify for a student loan. A personal loan boasts 24% interest, which makes my stomach hurt.
So. Bottom line. I am leaning on YOU. My friends. My family.
Go to the "HELP" page of this website and click on the "donate" button. It will take you directly to my paypal site where you can safely "send me to Austria".
You have heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child... well I'd like to think that the same theory applies to us beyond our childhood years. I'd like to believe that we will all come alongside one another for as long as we live life.
With that in mind... it's my turn to ask you--my friends-- to help me live my life. I need help from my "village".
It costs a sizable sum of money to attend the Orff Institute in Salzburg, Austria. I am finding it nearly impossible to get financing from US banks... (personal loans have an interest rate of 24%! yikes!) This is where you come in:
Click on the link below to donate $10, $20, or some other amount. For your donation, you will recieve an EP of original music from me. It is a small way for me to thank you for your kindness and love.
What is $10.00 really? 2 drinks at Starbucks? 1 album on ITunes? A cute tank-top at Target? If you could do without any of those things for just this week, you will help me for an ENTIRE year! It is SO EASY.

I depart in less than ONE WEEK!!! I can't believe that it is really happening... spending a year at the Mozart University's Orff Institute!
I raised about $10,000 with your help and am overwelmed by your generosity.
Continue to spread the word about The Austria Project!
THANK YOU and BLESS YOU!!
