I hold a doctorate in music composition from the University of Maryland. My compositions have been published and performed by ensembles around the world. (See my full bio, or read some Reviews and Testimonials. Or hear some of my music!)

For over ten years, I’ve helped students of all ages and skill levels, from preschoolers to university composition majors, learn music theory, songwriting, composition, harmony, and ear training. While teaching a college class at the University of Maryland, I guided every student from learning the essentials of music theory to writing a complete composition they were able to present by the end of the semester. Students have learned to write their own pop songs, electronic music, game soundtracks, and even full-length stage productions.

In composition and songwriting lessons, I work directly with you to develop a personalized plan of study that’s exactly right for your own interests and goals. We’ll work on the techniques you need to find your own musical voice, whether you’re interested in writing classical art music, making modern electronic tracks, or just having fun.

Music lessons are online from the convenience of your own home, studio, school, or learning center. Rates are reasonable and affordable. Group classes and individual lessons available. Inquire for details.
