I am a pianist, musical director, composer, writer and teacher who keeps very busy. Until recently, I composed only for my own projects, including a newly finished musical for which I wrote the book, lyrics, composed the music and orchestrated and arranged in entirety. As a Musical Director for a local Jewish Temple, I composed a complex choral piece from liturgy, orchestrated a classic rock song, and arranged a medley of three requested songs. For the Twine Platform, I’ve collaborated on two musicals, created soundwork for three short animated clips, and scored two space games. I have also put their liturgy to music for Mentalphysics, and I continue to work as a performer, educator and arranger. I use MuseScore, Ableton, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Reason, and Sibelius, and I’m passionate about lyricism, orchestration, and exploring a broad palette of styles.

Complete Melody and Full Orchestration.
I just want to assure you, the client, that though my shared orchestrations are elaborate, I can surely do simple, with qualities that enhance lyrics, a melody, and of course, will captivate the listener.
I can work within the parameters of a style that warms your heart, or fires up your anger, or nurtures your motivation, or kindles love and emotion. Again, I am not limited by style or genre.
Even if you don’t hear exactly what you are looking for in my application or webpage, I pledge with all of my being, I can create what you are envisioning. It will stand out, it will stand on its own, even if simply constructed.
This is a musical inspired by a series of events in the life of Elizabeth Cochran, aka, Nellie Bly, the first professional female under cover journalist, taking place in the late 1800s. She is demonstrating a bit of insanity with this somewhat nonsensical song about working people. A production of the work is under discussion right now.
I had a successful GoFundMe to proceed with the website recordings. In addition, I was interviewed by Musical Theatre Radio out of Canada, Jean-Paul Yovanoff. https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/TGuwEDm7fFb
And recently had a two-page article written about the show in the Triangle, Mu Phi Epsilon.

Too Many Working People
The musical is finished with over 20 songs orchestrated and arranged (I am the sole creator).
On the website are 4 links to four songs to listen to. There are 20 finished songs in the musical.
I invite you to take the time to peruse the site. (apologies for long URL) The songs are below the section “My Dream Lead”

This is orchestrated, capturing fleeting emotions in night time imaginings.

This was a project for a member of a Jewish Congregation who had serious insomnia. She had learned that music is therapeutic, and thought there might be some catharsis in the creation and listening of such a work.
There seemed to be a fair amount of success. Her insomnia was reduced by 2/3.
