Hello! I'm 25 year Berklee College of Music Alumnus with 16 years playing experience!

My music has given me the opportunity to travel the world, and in summer of 2016, I conducted a tour of Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda with my band the AfroXchange in conjunction with music therapy organization Global Youth Groove where I hosted jazz masterclasses, as well as performed at clubs and festivals, and assisted a music therapy team around the countryside.

With students at an intermediate level, I'll ask how much they may already know, or what they would like to learn. Read More
