Thanks for visiting my website. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I am making my life as a musician and teacher. The roles, labels and hats are many: creativity activist, composer, improviser, pianist, songwriter, improvisation facilitator, drummer, and educator. I’m currently studying Composition at Tufts (‘MA 22), while enjoying the role of Visiting Lecturer (“Exploring Improvisation: Playing Music Together”) — as well as teaching privately, performing, writing as much as possible.

Though I teach and work for myself, I have meaningfully collaborated with many wonderful organizations over the years — including 3weeks (2020-2021), Wellan Montessori (2018-2021), ImprovBoston (2013-2020), ImprovAslyum (2020), Music2Meeting (2020-2021) Bentley University (2019), Center for Curriculum Redesign (2019) prog-metal fusion band Strange Changes (2017-19) and Boston Theatre Company (2019).

Though I do “classical music” and economically-successful as a professional musician, I dedicate a substantial portion of creativity to projects outside of market or ‘discipline’ driven creativity. My educational research explores the edge of what culture — and individual — knows how to make sense of: as well as how culture (un)successfully reproduces itself. I’m yearning not only to make music and teach people to make music, but to die on the hill that “music is a birthright: everyone can learn.” I serve principles higher than cultural aesthetics, or hammering yourself into the idealized form for acceptance to elite social clubs.

As such, I offer compassionate, incisive, and holistic teaching to individual and groups — in a variety of styles of music. I devote a lot of energy to explaining to others how I do what I do — and what I’m really doing when I practice, understand, and perform music. I’ve developed some unique and interdisciplinary pedagogy for creating songs, learning classical piano, improvising, and learning to devote yourself to your creative callings. My teaching and art aims to research music as a tool for interbeing, and reuinion with our deepest human — and greater-than-human — instincts. Music is a tool to know, create, and express ourselves to others. I am humbled and enthused to serve the social fabric by helping people interface more deeply with themselves, their dreams, and the present moment.
