About Me
My name is Norma Hickox. I am a retired, professional musician. I play and teach six instruments and compose music. I have been an organist and choir director for many different spiritual denominations and have also taught vocal music in private elementary and pre-schools. In the past I played in the pit orchestra for a musical theater group and also in a dance band, eventually having my own dance band.
I have played for many different occasions including some TV appearances. I played the wedding rehearsal dinner music attended by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans for their son Dusty, and have played for movie and TV personalities and the governor of Colorado and finally, the ultimate, I played for the President of the United States. This was President Ford and the occasion was a Christmas Eve church service in Vail, Colorado.
Along with music, my career has also included involvement with the arts of painting, writing, dance and theater that led to my writing two musical plays with original music. Boomtown USA won first place in stage plays for the New York Screenwriting Contest in 2019 and an Award of Merit in the Headline International Film Festival in 2016. Magic Man won the Park Avenue Award (third place) in stage plays for the New York Screenwriting Contest in 2018 and the Golden Cine Award.in the Headline International Film Festival in 2016.
When I began composing, the music and lyrics would flow into my head in complete form. A year later I began to receive information from a spiritual source that flowed in the same way as the music. This material is the Chrysalis Teachings and is based on the Science of Music, which is the fundamental vibrational order and creative nature of the universe.
Besides publishing the teachings as 12 full-length books, I am now doing the material as videos – approximately 15 minutes in length. I have 45 of them done and would like to make a full-length feature documentary or a web series. My first video was entered into Direct Monthly Online Film Festival and won 1st place as best web series in the Jan. 2016 contest. My books are on https://amzn.to/2Fcg6T6. I also made four music CDs of my own compositions as duo piano, also on Amazon https://amzn.to/34QrTRJ.
I live in Simi Valley, California with my son Neil and his family; wife Claudia and son Leland. Neil is a computer scientist and an amateur photographer helping very much with the books. He designed the covers and his photos are used in the books. He also gave much help with his computer know-how.
