"Tunes, like people, are startlingly individual. And there can be no end to the possibilities of getting to know them better." That's Imogen Holst's insight, and whenever I arrange a melody, I know just what she meant. My flute books and recorder books consist of melodies chosen for their human-like individualities and their suitability for development as solos. A reviewer wrote: "It is amazing how well these melodies fit the flute." Another: "This [recorder] book was great...just what I was looking for."

When you click the book titles, be sure to view the Table of Contents. You'll find hundreds of solos. If the title starts with Z (as in Zaccato), the solo is an original composition; otherwise it is either a well-known melody arranged as you've never heard it before -- or else, it's is a new arrangement of something very old, very rare, and very fine.

Each of the Solo Collections has its own webpage of Historical Notes. (There IS a way to find the internet addresses from this page!)

Aside from my musical interests, I'm a professor of mathematics at the University of Evansville. My book, Geometry in Action, is a favorite for college geometry courses, where it is used as a supplement in connection with the remarkable software package, The Geometer's Sketchpad.

I have a geometry website called the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers - ETC. You can easily find it using Google. My other mathematical interests can be found by Googling MathWorld and typing my surname into the search box.

If you have questions or comments about these books, you can find my university email address and let me know. Chances are good that I'll respond.
