I've been a musician all of my life. I've been fortunate to have studied with some of the greatest musicians in southern New England.
I am a full time private instructor and have been blessed with some of the most talented students in the area. Passing on the knowledge I have learned to the next generation is one of my life's top goals. I've often said that if I lost my ability to play, I'd be happy teaching one on one for the rest of my life..... but lets hope that doesn't happen because I LOVE to play.
I'm a musician on a mission. My life's goal, aside from teaching, is to help create a renewed interest in Jazz in and around southern New England. It is unfortunate that such a musician rich area is so devoid of the venues and public support/awareness to allow young developing musicians to flourish. I hope to change that.
One of the ways I'm working towards this goal is the Providence Cutting Sessions (www.provcuttingsessions.com). Please take a moment to explore that site/program.
The other way I hope to change that is through music performance and recording. I hope that people will take something from the music I make. But mostly, I hope my music makes people want to organize and make music on their own, after all, what is a jazz community without other communal members to share it with??
My musical life isn't all about jazz however. I'm deeply involved in a rock project known as Bored With Four. Its a piano quartet featuring the inspired writings of singer/songwriter Andrew Brown. After a year of fine tuning, we are currently involved in recording the band. Expect a full length album release sometime in the new year!!
I'm also in an R&B band with singer song writer Kim Trusty.
One of my favorite hobbies is building/designing hand made effects pedals, both of my design, and clones. Contact me if you are interested in learning more about my products.
Thanks for reading!
