"I have a PhD in Composition from The Graduate Center, CUNY, and other diplomas and Conservatory Prizes in Musicology, Music theory (counterpoint, fugue, harmony, analysis), and Music Education from Carnegie Mellon University, the Bordeaux Conservatory, and the University of Bordeaux.

I am an award-wining composer with an active international career.

I have more than a decade of experience teaching at different levels, from middle-school to PhD students. I have been teaching music theory, score analysis, music history, and composition at different institutions in the USA, France, and Thailand.

My lessons are personally crafted around your needs.

As a composition professor, my primary objective is to assist you in developing your own voice through the creation of your personalized project. In the context of private lessons, I aim to never take the place of the composer and never involve myself in aesthetic choices.

As a music theory, ear training, or music history instructor, my goal is to support you in gaining a better understanding and refining your skills to prepare you and support you for your next AP test, college admission, or competition." less...
