Ann and her husband have retired from a long and satisfying career in the Air Force, during which she was fortunate to have been able to serve the Lord through music in churches (especially Air Force chapels) literally around the country and all over the world -- and they in turn were blessed by her tremendous talent, servant’s heart, and abiding faith. Ann is accomplished in all styles of traditional, classical, and contemporary worship music, yet the most important factor for her in the music of the church is that it is pleasing to God and ministers to the congregation. Her constant prayer is that God will truly be glorified in every note she plays. E-mail Ann here.
