Music Composition

I started composing music for the piano in 2008. Music composition is a very joyful and emotional touchstone for me. Like any artistic pursuit, the endpoint is not envisioned; the process is the true part of the total fulfillment.

You don’t know what it will be until it’s written.

Sometimes, when I am writing, I may make a “mistake” and LOVE IT!! I keep that part in the song, which adds to the mysterious element of what creativity really is all about.

Music reflects a part of me that I innately have always sensed about myself. Now, it is reflected and realized through the medium of sound, which is a continued mystery for me. I receive great joy in listening to my own music.

I am indebted to my first teacher, Sky Ladd. He help me to start. I am in gratitude for Andrea Stolpe who has provided a deep resource for me to build my skills. They both have helped me to acquire the skills and resources necessary to compose, write, and engage deeply in the process.

My intent is to share my progression as a composer with you. As it is a small part of my journey as an Artist, I will be uploading music that I have written in hopes that it will bring joy to your ears and inspire you in whatever way it does!
