Speaking & Workshops
I lead interactive workshops on composing and songwriting for K-12 students. I also present my work to college students and general audiences. I’ve presented at the Katherine Delmar Burke School for Girls, Penny Lazarus Piano Studio, Cambridge Math Circle, Boston Arts Academy, and the California State University at Northridge, as well as other schools.

Composition Lessons
Outside of Berklee, I occasionally teach students virtually, ranging from teens to adults. Some students seek 1-3 lessons for help on a specific project; others meet with me regularly every two weeks or every month. More info here. And here is my article How to Write a Program Note for Your Own Music.
Piano lessons
I’m a member of the North Shore Piano Teachers Guild and teach a small number of piano students out of my home studio in Beverly, MA. More info here.
