Commissions

Classical music has stood the test of time for centuries, and yet its richness and innovations would not have been possible had it not been from the support from the church, government grants, and private benefactors.

I view all of my projects as artistic collaborations, and this includes working with benefactors.  I will work with you to ensure that the piece is relevant to the audience and venue at which you’d like it performed.  You to participate in the vision of the work, and customize the piece for a cause that you care for, a special event, or a loved one.  Your personality, values, and vision will live on in the music you help create.

 

Teaching

I am currently accepting students of all levels for private lessons in piano and composition.  I teach techniques of composition and improvisation that are relevant to any musical genre you’d like to pursue.  I take great pride in my ability to inspire rather than critique, get your creative juices flowing, and track your development.  Students must be motivated and prepared to spend time outside of class writing.

I also give masterclasses for people of all ages.  If you are a music teacher, I am happy to add value to your class.  Please get in contact with me to share more about what you’d like to accomplish.
