About the Artist

Hello to everyone!

I am a composer, performer, teacher, and recording artist. My music has found an audience throughout the United States and Canada, and, thanks to the Internet and distributors such as Amazon and CDBaby, is sold in many countries of the world.

From an early age I loved the outdoors. I was lucky enough to live out in the country where I could have great adventures exploring fields, woods, and streams near my home. I loved (and still love) all of nature and that especially includes people!

When I was introduced to the piano, music became another love. I played on the piano every day for hours as a child, and absorbed any classical music that my teachers could find for me to play, especially if the music had lots of passion and movement. Eventually music became my profession.

My own original music has been especially influenced by my travels into the Mayan lands of Central America and Mexico. As I walk through the rain forest of Guatemala, or the mountains of Honduras, or the plains of Mexico visiting sacred Mayan sites, I feel the heart of the Earth and the Sky. I feel the love which is the Source of everything. I compose music that captures the sacred feel for me of these lands and people, and of our Mother Earth. The Mayan Dream album was born in Mexico in 1987. The Beloved, The Journey of Joy, Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth, Healing Music, Mystical Rose, and Emergence have since been created from my continued journeys throughout the lands of the Maya. Earth Essence and Atitlan Fire are available for free download. Finally, one of my greatest joys as a musician is creating Soul/Deepbody music for individuals.

June of 2006 was a pivotal time in my life. Mayan Dream Productions, Interational has been my business since 1994. However, in June of 2006 I was able to become the full time owner/musician of Mayan Dream Productions International.

What does my music sound like?

You may hear a resemblance to Michael Stearns or Constance Demby, or maybe Kitaro without the sweeping violins. Percussion instruments from various parts of the world are an important part of the story that my music tells. I also love to use sampled bird song, thunder, ocean waves?..all of these sounds that bring nature into my music. However, it is uniquely "Beverly" music with my own musical imprint.

What do I love most about being a full time composer, recording artist, and business-owner??

I love so many things about my life. I now have the time to compose, record and play music whenever the spirit moves me. My office and studio spaces are open to nature, and when I want to be outside....I can. There is so much more time to enjoy friendship and family.

To all of you…….welcome! To all returning friends…..greetings!

May my music bring you joy, inner peace, and passion for your life purpose.

Beverly
