Additionalinformation - Description
My skills within the music world include guitar playing, composing and writing music, as well as arranging music for combos and groups, typically from video games. I've played various gigs in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area. I've taught general, movement-based music lessons to infants and babies, and I've taught music privately as well. I specialize in guitar, bass, vocals, music composition, and theory, and am capable of teaching other instruments and general music. I'm also highly proficient with DAWs such as ProTools, Logic, and Cubase 10, as well as Sibelius for arranging music. I've recorded three EPs and an album, and have run sound at the University of the Arts, further enhancing my skills in live sound and recording.
