"I am a professional composer, cellist, and recording artist. I received a PhD in Music Composition at Northwestern University, where I have taught a number of music classes, including aural skills, music theory, music composition, and Music and the Visual Arts. I've written music in lots of different contexts, for solo instruments, chamber groups, large ensembles and orchestra, pure percussion, pure electronic, for dance, and for theater.

I also teach cello or Spanish lessons to beginner and intermediate students learning for the first time.

In my weekly lessons, you'll get the same quality of learning that a university student would receive, and I will equip you with all the tools you need to improve your musical skills. Every person has a unique creative voice, and through my lessons, you'll learn to sculpt and craft your individuality to make your music shine.

I teach lessons to elementary school students and older. Whether you're just starting or you've been composing for a while and feel stuck, I can help you on your journey. My primary specialty is contemporary concert music, but I can teach students writing music in any genre or style. I teach exclusively online, and I can give lessons on cello, electric guitar, electric bass, music theory, ear-training, and music composition in any style or genre, or Spanish. I look forward to working with you!" less...
