I wrote the pieces posted on this website using species counterpoint, which was a method used by composers in the 1700’s. While I was learning and practicing it, my ultimate goal was (and still is) to write something simple and beautiful. Hope you enjoy playing the music! (Be sure to follow me on my Facebook page and my YouTube channel too!) Cheers!

In the next piece, “Floridian Waltz”, the second note in each tie is either a suspension (a chord tone carried into the next measure creating a dissonant note then resolving down) or a retardation (a chord tone carried into the next measure creating a dissonant note and resolving up). Composed on 2/28/26.
