Donna's Story

Wow. After High School I went on to become a Piano performance major at Saint Xavier University where I graduated in 1984. I also took some post-grad courses in Pedagogy and Music History, as well as a few other "supplemental" courses, but ended up working back at SXU for about 15 years. I got married to my HS sweetie Brian Meyer in 1986, and we had four boys. Our first, Christopher, was born in January of 1990, and died when he was six weeks old from complications stemming from meningitis. Three years later we had twins (Nicholas and Andrew), and a year and a half after that, we had Patrick. Patrick is Autistic, so you can often find me "waving the cure autism" banner. After I left SXU I began working as a private piano instructor at Southwest Music Center in Oak Lawn, where I have an average of about 50 students per week. I also play and sing in the Worship Team at my church, and direct the choir the...Expand for more
re as well. In addition I accompany for some of the area High Schools (currently I hold this position at Oak Lawn HS) and perform freelance in the area. I also play for solo and ensemble contests in the area which has put me in touch with old classmates as well! And so, while I'm certainly not independently wealthy, (musicians never are... mom was right!) I'm very happy with my work. It all involves music, from start to finish! How many people can say they are doing EXACTLY what they set out to do??? At this point, I am doing the "parental nightmare" of teaching my TWO 15 year old sons how to drive. (Saints preserve us....) and coming to the reality that now matter how much we try to stop it, life just keeps moving on faster, and faster. I am very impressed however in that while my sons all get older, I manage to stay exactly the same! LOL I'm also looking forward to hearing what YOU are doing!!! :-)
