About Bev Standish
I decided to become a concert pianist in 9th grade. That same year I won a scholarship to Interlochen National Music Camp and decided to pursue music as a career. I attended Northwestern University where I gained skills in arranging and composing music earning a degree in Music Education. I attended graduate school at Kansas State University where I studied Music Therapy and became proficient on guitar. After my formal education, I was contracted to play piano for the Kansas City School District. My interests began to shift from performing to composing music. I have written and performed all kinds of music, from music for live theater and film, to rock and roll.

I began using programs such as StudioVision, Overture and Pro Tools to assist me in my composing.
I took extensive online animation courses taught by animation gurus such as Larry Schultz and
Total Training by Brian Maffit. The digital arts now occupy a large portion of my life as
I have become an independent film producer and 3D animator.
