"My name is Christian, and I am a Media Composer. I write music for Film, TV, Advertisements, Games, and everything else that viewers watch on a screen. I also work in Sound Design, Middleware, and produce music on a regular basis.

After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, I moved back to my hometown of Portland OR to develop the media audio scene here. In Boston, I taught music for 5 years. I have taught students of ages 3 to 95, neurotypical to neurodivergent, beginner to professional, and every combination in-between. With these students, I have put on live concerts, prepared them for auditions, and even gotten them professional paying gigs in the Boston Music scene.

I don't believe in a "one size fits all" lesson structure, I customize each lesson individual for each student every time I meet with them. It's not possible for every student to learn the same thing the exact same way, so after I help my students figure out exactly what it is they want to do and learn, I'll then build them a way to get there and guide them along that path. Some students find success through advancing through a book, some through learning standards throughout history, some through exploring new genres, and much more. Not only can I get each of my students to success, I can help them find out what they're specific version of success looks like." less...
