Just unveiling the new name and logo for the ambient music part of my work. I decided all my music was basically tossed into a pile, whether it was choir music, songwriting, or ambient music, and some sorting was in…

I am very psyched and somewhat surprised to have been awarded the Mark Mothersbaugh Celebrity Scholarship, a merit-based award at Berklee College of Music. I will be using it to continue my online studies in music production. I decided last…

Vocalist-percussionist Rachelle Behrens and me have some gigs lined up at Options Lounge in the Brookstreet Hotel over the next few months. Rachelle sings a really eclectic mix of Cuban, Latin, and Pop styles. Come celebrate Spring with us!

It is with tremendous pleasure that I invite you to Vox Eclectica Women’s Chamber Choir’s current mini-season, affectionately nicknamed “Operation Phoenix.”

Hi Everyone! -

Back to school also means new opportunities for music learning.

There are still a couple of spots remaining on my roster for private lessons at Alcorn Music Studios. Together we can work on piano, voice, flute, theory, songwriting, composing, arranging, or a combination.

If group learning is more your thing, I'm offering 3 classes this term.
