PERFORMANCE
I play French horn around the world with symphonies, DJ's, and in world music + sound healing collaborations.
Classical highlights from the last few years include performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Andrea Bocelli in Florida, and an exquisite song cycle featuring horn in San Francisco.
I've played amazing Calypso jams in Costa Rica, performances with Yemanjo and other DJ's at Ecstatic Dance Hawaii, collaborations with Silk Road Ensemble members. I facilitate jam sessions and sound healing sets.

COACHING
I work with professional and amateur musicians, in several offerings:
1) Deep transformational journeys around artistic development, performance anxiety, or challenging professional issues.
2) Practice mastery - how to learn dramatically faster and make it stick for satisfying performances. Includes memorization, solving technical issues, and nuts & bolts practice strategies.
3) Project-based coaching - album releases, auditions or recitals, a finish line you want to cross. I help you cross it with virtuosity, health, and a heaping dose of fun!
