I am a Recording Arts major at CU Denver, a path I chose not because this is my strongest area but because I wish to be as well-rounded a musician as I can. I hope to find a career path in music, and I keep an open mind on what that might mean.

Entertaining Pianist
Dueling Pianos Road Show

I learned the niche skillset required for playing requests in the "Dueling Piano's" setup (a very similar concept to piano bars.) This honed my musical abilities considerably.
With these gigs often ending up in far more conservative communities than I'm used to, this job helped me exercise patience and understanding for mindsets and values that differ from my own.
