About me
Hi! I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and have been teaching here in Montgomery since 2005. I love all kinds of music and really enjoy that I get to teach a little bit of all the music classes at LMS! I also love theater and am always directing something, whether the musical at LMS, the play at MHS, or a summer show at "Let's Put on a Musical."
I love learning new things. I studied at Yale University (BA, Music), The University of Texas at Austin (MM, Music Composition) and Seton Hall University (Ed.S., Educational Leadership). I've also taken classes at Westminster Choir College, The University of the Arts, the Hartt School of Music and have attend summer programs at The American Conservatory of Fontainebleau and the Aspen Music Festival.
I live in Hillsborough with my wife, two children, and four cats!
