FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We'll begin by talking about your musical background (however much or little experience you have), the kinds of music that interest you, and some potential goals for working together. These might be learning to play a particular kind of style, a particular piece or song, being able to play along with friends and family, or honing in on refining your technique. You'll find that studying music doesn't lead to endpoints, but to new and further skills and interests to explore. I'll work with you as far as you want to go!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied and performed as a classical pianist my whole life, in chamber ensembles, pit orchestras, and as an accompanist. I pursued conservatory performance training on the double bass, and the bass remains my greatest teaching passion. However in conservatory my interests shifted to composition, both for traditional acoustic instruments and electronic instruments. Currently, I mostly perform as an electric guitarist and organist, and I write music for various classical and experimental ensembles as well as for my own pop project.
