 Jeanne
Howell was born and raised in southwest Houston. She began her study of piano
at the age of five and piano has been a part of her life ever since then. After
having her children, she went back to school to study music history, theory,
performance and pedagogy. She and her husband, Bruce, met in chemistry class at
Brigham Young University and were married in 1975. Bruce practiced dentistry in
Missouri City, Texas for over 23 years and was also a Clinical Assistant
Professor at the University of Texas Dental School. He was the editor of the
Journal of the Greater Houston Dental Society for over 5 years and was also a
contributing writer for various dental journals. After 25 years in Texas,
choosing a less hot and humid life, the Howells packed up everything, moved to
Colorado and have never looked back.Jeanne is an avid bird watcher and loves hiking, fishing, quilting, gardening, cooking and being with her family which includes the cat. She also collects PEZ candy dispensers; currently the collection has over 1400 different dispensers.

She loves classical music and classic rock'n'roll. Her favorite composers to listen to are Ravel, Debussy and Rachmaninov, and her favorite to study are Bach, Mozart and Chopin.
