I've been producing, performing, and teaching music to people of all ages for over 10 years. In addition to teaching, I regularly perform, write, record, produce, and mix various music projects of my own and for other artists and clients. I'm deeply passionate about music and creating, and love to share the joy and knowledge of how to express oneself musically with my students.
