Since 2001, I have been active as a performer and educator with a focus on jazz improvisation, theory, and composition.  I attended the Hartt School of Music and New School University, and have taught at UVM and Johnson State College.  I enjoy teaching a variety of styles, including jazz, rock, and pop.  I am also happy to offer a more traditional, reading-based approach for students who prefer that format.

I offer custom composition, arranging, transcription, and copyediting.  I have 17 years of experience writing and arranging for recording sessions and live performances; as a copyeditor, I have worked extensively on several theater productions.  I am also happy to offer my services both as an accompanist and as a solo pianist for weddings, parties, and events.
