Performance
|
Always striving to say something with my playing, I bring enthusiasm & attentiveness to each performance in an effort to connect with my partners on stage and (by extension) each audience. I play all instruments in the oboe, saxophone, and clarinet families, aiming to bring the same standard of excellence to every instrument. When the opportunity arises, I also enjoy guiding an ensemble's vision as a conductor. For examples of my playing, check out my reels page. To learn more about me, you can read my bio.

As a doubler, having the right equipment for the job is an integral part of what I do. Many people helped me with my setups as I started my career, and I want to pay it forward by assisting other woodwind players with their double reed and auxiliary instrument journeys. Toward that end, I offer reed-making services (& lessons) and short-term instrument rentals. Click here to learn more about my reeds, or here to learn more about the instruments I rent out.

Contrast & timbre are the aspects of music that most speak to me. I've always loved the impact master orchestrators can make by bringing out and exploring the breadth of tone colors available from the instruments of our world. Whether I'm transcribing something for a different instrumentation or writing something completely new, I strive to produce effective textures that take advantage of the strengths & weaknesses of the instruments for which I'm writing. As part of my exploration of the full span of available timbres, underrepresented instruments & groupings (when I can use them) have remained a staple of my arrangements & originals. To hear some of my writing, you can listen here. Sheet music for my available arrangements & compositions can be found here.
