About the Author

Denise Yvette Knox was music incarnate! She was truly the embodiment of music! Denise was a Chicago Public School music teacher where she taught her students many songs of her own creation, and she won many acclaims for outstanding programs.

Denise was well accomplished and fluent in music, and could play with ease compositions by Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and others, as well as country, rock, folk, blues, gospel, jazz, and R&B. She was the master of five different instruments, but she especially excelled in piano, organ, and guitar.

Denise spent much of her time singing and playing, for churches, weddings, the Archdiocese of Chicago, and jazz bands, around Chicago and its suburbs.

Denise was a graduate of Northwestern University where she had received a full scholarship. She earned two Masters degrees in the years that followed.

Her greatest desire was to retire from public school, and spend her time creating, performing, and publishing her music. Unfortunately, not long after her retirement, cancer entered the scene and took her away before she could accomplish her mission. She had lived a life of happiness, doing what she loved and enjoyed most—her music!

Denise Yvette Knox’s work is shared in this intimate collection.
