FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always trying to expand my pallet. I am keenly aware that there is always someone out there who plays better than I do, so I am still taking lessons from great musicians. I also try to find new and challenging situations either in the recording studio or live performances.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been playing music since childhood and can not imagine a more fulfilling profession.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I take examples of songs that my students love and transcribe them. As I do this, I explain all of the theory that is required in order to play that song (scales, chords, rudiments, reading, beats, etc.).
