Composer, musician, and musical gene pool.
Welcome all. I began my musical studies at the age of five with classical piano. Years later, I studied the saxophone and eventually established percussion as my principle instrument. Along with my instrumental studies I attended classical music theory classes and studied Jazz with a private instructor. I was inducted into the TRI_M Music Honor Society as a sophomore in high school. I was also made a member of ASCAP’s J.A.M Program (Junior ASCAP Member) which recognized me as “one of the nation’s most promising high school music students.” I was awarded a scholarship to Berklee’s Summer Performance Camp in high school, which solidified my decision to further my education as a Contemporary Writing and Production major at Berklee College of Music.
My composition, “String Theory and the Universe”, is to be performed by the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra as part of their 93rd season on Saturday, March 28th, 2009 at 8:00pm.
“Inspired by mathematics and cosmology, String Theory and the Universe is an exciting and dynamic orchestral piece taking its listeners on a musical journey through the universe as described through the mathematics known as string theory. String Theory and the Universe is contemporary in style, yet suggests a unique combination of influences reminiscent of composers such as Mozart and Hindemith. From the distinctive and exciting counterpoint in the introduction, to the brilliant finale, and all of the interesting sections in between, String Theory is truly an enjoyable orchestral work for all music enthusiasts.”

The process of learning music includes the study of the physics, or science, of sound, cultural history, technology, business, the physicality of human performance, and everything in between.
The final result of this learning process is achieving concision, the skill to compose precisely to one’s intentions, having function for every musical element…
Music must maintain a certain level of sophistication while balancing the creative process with practicality in regards to performing and recording appropriately for any given style.
“Good” Music is not what one prefers, but what is undeniably well written & contains something of merit for all composers and musicians alike regardless of style or preferences.
The ability to perceive music objectively is what separates a true musician from the music enthusiast.
