Looking to hire a band, get some lessons, or commission a piece of music/writing for a project? Find details on these services below. If you don't find what you're looking for, contact me and we'll discuss whether I can meet your needs.
HIRE A GROUP FOR AN EVENT
Whether you're celebrating your wedding, a birthday, retirement - or you're hosting a fundraiser, corporate event or reception, live music adds a special touch.
If you're interested in having a group play for your special event, please use the contact form (that can be found on the CONTACT page, look to the top right of this page) and I will get back to you in a timely manner to discuss how I can meet the needs of your specific event, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with an estimate.
LESSONS (Currently Unavailable)
It's absolutely essential that you're confident in a music teacher's ability, whether they'll be teaching you or your children.
As a faculty assistant at the National Music Camp of Canada, the University of Toronto Downtown Jazz Summer Workshop, and the Agincourt C.I. Music retreat, and as a student myself, I'm familiar with the world of music pedagogy.
I currently teach the Royal Conservatory of Music's Advanced Rudiments Introductory Level, Level 1 & Level 2 requirements. I also teach jazz theory and early childhood music (which includes activities with voice, piano and percussion). Please contact me for lesson information and prices.
As I am back and forth between Toronto and Boston for school, I do not presently teach double bass (as it requires consistent attention from a teacher if you are to build strong technique). I would, however, be happy to direct you to another teacher.
COMMISSION A PIECE
Need music for a film? An arrangement for a particular ensemble?
Need a review? Liner notes? Someone to edit your bio?
Each situation is different, and I would be happy to discuss your needs and see if we can make something work together. Please contact me to discuss your project well in advance of the deadline.
