Classical music is my first love, but I can get lost in all good music. I was trained as a classical pianist and have a Master's Degree in Instrument Music from Arizona State University where I studied piano with Arnold Bullock and composition with Ronald LoPresti. I also studied with Jared Spears who is now the Composer in Residence with the St. Louis Wind Ensemble (part of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra). I also spent the summer studying with Gary Nelson at Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
I have been away from music for many years. Now I strive to unhinge unused and atrophied musical skills. In this quest I enjoin all here to help advise and instruct in this odyssey for musical fulfillment as I desire to be a friend of your hopes and musical desires.
