As a performer I composed and produced 6 albums (some solo, some with bands), composed and arranged hundreds of songs, and performed with amazing friends all over the country.
As a teacher and conductor I’ve worked with beginners, experts, and everyone in between.
My focus is always on creating a space to find the joy in making music with others.
