Music & Composition

Formal discipline, improvisational search, and the ear for structure

I play piano, improvise, and compose.

Performance and teaching

My background includes OMTA Gold Cup pianist, two OMTA Superior Awards, ICM Division III South Contemporary recognition, independent piano teacher at 14, and nursing-home performance volunteer.

SoundCloud

Selected compositions, sketches, and experiments are published on SoundCloud.

Composition

I’m drawn to motif, variation, and the way a small musical idea can develop across a piece.
