Judi was raised by parents who were musical mavericks in their respective families of origin, so she and her younger brother Dave* got exposed to a cornucopia of styles, from classical to stripper music to pop and musical theatre.** Not a typical piano student, Judi took lessons from 8 different teachers over a period of 12 years, developing an amazing ear and a tolerance for jumping thru hoops for piano teachers, choir directors (accompanying and arranging), instrumental and vocal contest students,*** and community theatre directors ("Here, learn this 200-page score by next week so the choreographer can record her dances...") Judi teaches piano for a living, coaches vocal students, teaches piano improv and works as the keyboardist for the improv comedy troupe, ComedySportz Houston.**** Her musical idols include Billy Joel, Elton John, and Eugenie Rocherolle.
