About

I have a B.A. in music performance from the University at Buffalo, with a focus on the guitar. I focused on jazz music, which included solo arrangements and chord melodies, to jazz ensembles ranging from two instruments to big band. I also studied classical music involving solo pieces as well as ensembles. I enjoy many styles of music that include rock, folk, blues, and pop. I am also interested in music theory and fret board harmony. If any of this interests you as well, I'd love to meet you!
