Musikhaus began as a private teaching studio in Rapid City, South Dakota. I was joined by my wife Michelle in 2000. She eventually became the primary instructor for the studio and I began to focus on other professional endeavors such as ChoralNet (I began this first online forum for choral music in 1993 with the assistance of people like Walter Collins, Mark Gresham, Lynn Whitten, and David Topping), Dakota Voices (my attempt at a semi-professional vocal ensemble with the vocalists available in Rapid City, South Dakota), and transcribing, editing, and arranging music for ensembles in the USA and abroad.

When Michelle and I relocated to Fort Myers, Florida in 2018, Musikhaus ended as a studio. I retired from choral activity and Michelle switched careers and became a mental health counselor. She is now a respected administrator of a facility that provides mental health counseling to those who are not yet released to the general populace. I moved my interest in wine into a part-time position as a specialist with Total Wine and More – the largest retailer of wine and spirits in the USA.  

Having been encouraged to make the music created over forty years of education available to others, I created this website to disseminate unpublished manuscripts of various types of music. Anything available on this website is copyrighted and, so, must be respected as an individual creation. We do not steal music from others without permission and hope that others will give us the same respect. Please subscribe to the website so we have a connection.

I am indebted to my friend David Topping who, again after 25 years, has assisted me in creating this website. If you have need of any website assistance, I urge you to follow his link.
