I have been consistently creating my own musical scores through the Musescore program, including an original piece based on the Vince Guaraldi Trio, created for my senior year capstone project. This involved a musical analysis of the scores to the classic Christmas short, A Charlie Brown Christmas, after which I composed my own original piece based on my research. I have also written pieces across multiple genres including: jazz, string quartet, orchestral, rock, piano, and lyrical. I have a solid understanding of both the on-stage and off-stage experience and can converse in terms that both the performer and the audience will understand. Recently, I have been applying my skills and experience in the music field to teach private drum lessons, while continuing to compose independently.
