"As a composer of production music I have had my music placed on over 2700 (mostly television) episodes and 449 series, including American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Guiding Light (Daytime Emmy Award 2008), Catfish, and Ancient Aliens to name just a few. I am passionate about teaching music composition and production (including mixing, as well as techniques of theory and history) and love helping students learn the techniques and hone the skills they need to produce the music they want to create.

Todays composers are often required to wear many hats, bringing to bear their skills as a composer, sound designer, performer, midi and audio recorder, a fluency working their DAW, as their ability to create a great final mix. Throw in a the benefits of a solid understanding of music theory and history, and you can see how producing music is truly a multi-disciplinary field.

Of course everything needs to be done at breakneck speed when working in a professional environment. My goal as an instructor is to help students see the forest from the trees, not only learning the necessary techniques but developing strategies for identifying which techniques to use for any given project and how to put it all together.

My teaching and tutoring experience goes back over 25 years, and though I now work full time at music composition and instruction, I was at one time a teacher of AP Physics and Pre-Calculus at a private high school in Santa Monica (though). I have kept in touch with a number of former students and their families, and have been praised for my energy, humor, and the ability break down tough subjects in a way that is easy to understand and enjoyable to learn." less...
