Speaking & Teaching

Entrepreneurial Mindset

I am available for speaking engagements for large groups, or individual coaching sessions–in person, or via Skype.

I speak on the Entrepreneurial Mindset – preparing music students to think creatively about their future work and careers. Working in the arts is a rich and fulfilling lifestyle that is widely left undiscussed by educational institutions. It is my life’s work to provide a starting point for opening one’s mind to soft skills and practical tools to prepare students for successful, fulfilling lives in the arts.

Recently, I have presented to the music students at Grand Valley State University about Music Entrepreneurship, the ACDA students at Western Michigan University’s School of Music regarding working in nonprofit arts orgs, and I will be featured on the Portfolio Composer podcast talking about my other passion – Livestreaming.

Send me an email if you’d like me to visit your school, or speak to your class!

Composition Lessons

As a creative, I specialize in music composition of all kinds. My appointment at Kalamazoo College has allowed me to teach composition students of all kinds – contemporary classical, film score, songwriting, music production, and theater. This has given me years of practice in coaching students to develop and expand their access to their creative minds.

I am available for Skype lessons . Let’s get your creative energy working for you when you want it to!
