Workshops

I would be delighted to join your choir for a rehearsal or workshop, in person or Interwebically.

REHEARSALS

If you are preparing a piece of mine for performance, I would be delighted to join your choir as a clinician or guest conductor. I can provide a composer’s perspective of the piece, discuss creative process, and offer performance feedback, conducted in person or over Skype or FaceTime.

HALF-DAY CLINICS / MASTERCLASSES

A half-day clinic could cover an extended rehearsal period or masterclasses in a variety of topics such as creative process, musical score preparation, self-publishing, conducting, or life as a professional composer.

COMPOSING RESIDENCIES

Let’s write a song together! Over the course of a few sessions, I can help write a song based on your singers’ own ideas and in their own words (see “My COVID Year” in the video section above).

PRIVATE LESSONS

I am available to teach composition, arranging, and musical score preparation in person or online. Times and frequency are negotiable.
