ABOUT

I have been a musician for most of my life and all of my short adult life. I am currently looking for interested parties and opportunities to expand my musical talents. I have studied music theory, and am versed in M/m scales and am working on modes on all instruments. I have mainly studying sax, bass, and harmonica. Have also studied Bb clarinet, Bass clarinet, alto/tenor/bari sax, trombone, bassoon and oboe. Most of my group playing has involved community groups oriented towards classical, jazz, and pops music.
