In addition to traditional schooling, Meg attended a number of Music Institutes on scholarships for studies
in classical music performance and music theory including The Interlochen Arts Academy National Music Camp in
Michigan, on a Sigma Alpha Iota National Scholarship. She joined the Local 47—Los Angeles chapter of the
American Federation of Musicians at the age of 18 and by the following year, in 1970, was working full-time as a classical
violinist and a Los Angeles Recording Studio musician, often as soloist and concertmaster.r She continued music studies
at California State University at Northridge until 1973, but with a full music schedule, further studies were put on hold until
1980. At that time, years of formal, strictly regimented music study and performance, a growing son and a growing interest
in the arts as therapy led to a decision to attend an accredited alternative education program. She transferred from C.S.U.
N. and enrolled in The Union—Undergraduate program-West, University Without Walls to focus on studies including
Domestic Violence, Violence and Human Behavior, Non-Verbal Communication, Psychodrama, Human Interaction and
Buddhist Meditation and Mental Development. She received a BA in 1983 with a double emphasis in Music and
Psychology.
Meg continued to enroll in independent educational workshops and in recent years has attended private seminars and
clinics exploring the significance of symbolism in art across the cultures. In 1999, travel to the Guangdong province of
China with families adopting children from China coupled with a desire to raise awareness for Children In Need, Children’
s Rights and the Prevention of Child Abuse, inspired her to write the story Meiying, Beautiful Flower—a fairy tale based
upon symbolism found in chinese art and folklore. She performs a musical puppet theater version of Meiying, Beautiful
Flower in venues including chapters of Families With Children from China. Proceeds are donated to Half the Sky
Workshops included advanced study of letterforms and music notation as language at the Abbey St. Pierre de Solesmes,
France where she attended The Gregorian Schola Program-Study of Gregorian Chant “Sung Speech” under the
direction of Dom Jean Claire and Dom Daniel Saulnier OSB Director of Palaeography and professor at the
Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music Rome. Dom Daniel Saulnier is considered to be the world authority on chant .
