The Music / The Musician / Dreams for Jeffrey CD / Grief: Loss and Recovery CD / Comments / Contact-Order
The Music of JoAnn DerdenJoAnn performed on the stage for years, playing solo concerts as well as two-piano programs with her oldest sister, Elizabeth, and in later years with her daughter, Helen. She accompanied other musicians in a variety of settings, excelling in whatever she did. Musicians loved working with her, as she could readily adapt to their myriad requests.
From classical to Broadway, her memory of music played in decades past leaves others in awe, as does her knack for improvisation.
JoAnn's original compositions are birthed by her willingness to follow her magical, musical fingers wherever they feel like taking her; it's always a complete surprise! 'Making stuff up' may not sound overly accomplished, but her 'stuff' is truly a gift... to her and perhaps even more to those of us on the listening end.
Quick to dole out credit for her inspiration, JoAnn has been blessed with remarkable expressivity, unleashed by a keyboard that serves as an extension of her heart and soul.
Whether you're searching for a bit of tranquility to help diffuse the chaos of the daily grind, deal with inordinate life challenges, or just because, you've come to the right place.
