About Me

I am a professional composer, writing mainly for orchestral and ensembles. My philosophy of teaching is focusing on helping my students discover their own compositional process and unique musical voice.

My Musical Education Background

I have been giving music theory and composition lessons for the past 8 years, teaching students at every ability level.

Genres and Subjects Taught

Music theory and composition lessons are an integral part of every music student's education!

- Use the compositional process.

For musicians focused on growing their professional skill set, learn how to:
- Write for other instruments like a pro.
- Use music notation software.
- Transcribe pieces for your own instrument.
- Expand your musical vocabulary: learn about more patterns and chord possibilities.
- Create your own lead sheets.
