Where Students Come First
“13 Moons became a wonderful means for practicing life skills, overcoming obstacles, and discussing the human experiences we share together. “Stepping off the podium” gave me additional time to invest in my students as individual human beings, not just the budding musicians I know them to be.””
I'm an Australian composer and experienced educator who loves to create wind band works that incite fascination, spark creativity, and generate ensemble connectedness.
It is my vision to offer every child who participates in a school instrumental program the opportunity to think like a composer, then voice, share and explore their creative spirit in a safe and nurturing environment. The end goal being that through this experience, each child develops a strong sense of self love, self-worth and self-awareness that they carry with them throughout their life.
