Welcome
I want to encourage in others a deep, intrinsic love of music, to encourage understanding between peoples and musics and to instil a love of learning and enthusiasm for holistic musicianship.
I have been leading and directing music for over twenty-five years from lessons to summer camps, big bands, choirs, small ensembles and K-12 school classes. As a graduate of the Cap Jazz Studies program on guitar, I also hold two post-graduate degrees in music education with a major in jazz studies on guitar.

Live and Studio Performance
I enjoy supporting roles where I can use my ear to respond to you in the moment, fill in spaces and create the feel that you want. I am comfortable improvising and sight reading on piano and guitar in a variety of styles and have a working playing knowledge of several other instruments in the strings, percussion, woodwind and brass families.
