In her spare time, Dr. Wiley has authored several articles that have appeared in Keyboard Companion and Clavier magazines. She has also reviewed a new book, One-Handed: A Guide to Piano Music for One Hand for the Journal of the Music Library Association. After school hours, you will find her teaching her private students, practicing both the piano and the organ, researching and writing, and performing her specialty: single-handed piano music. Her interest and love of one-handed piano music has resulted in her frist CD of teaching and concert-level works for one hand. The multi-media CD is the first of its kind, offering not only her performance of these works, but articles as well. Dr. Wiley and her husband, Scott, enjoy the company of their son, Cameron, who is an avid golfer.
