​

​​​​​Welcome to JOY IN MUSIC, my website of musical offerings. I have enjoyed decades of dizzyingly eclectic music-making as a composer, pop songwriter, arranger, record producer, Orff Schulwerk music educator, recording studio musician, dance accompanist, jingle writer, church/synagogue musician, piano player, percussionist, electric bassist, recorder player and other stuff I've forgotten about. I have a trunk-full of compositions, including major label record releases by well-known artists, as well demos, live recordings, music teaching materials and sheet music, all of which I would love to share. Here is the first iteration of a my ​website to make my music available. --    Rich Scher, Beaverton Oregon
