Memberships

Besides working on music, this is what I am working on the most these days. After 15 years in higher education, I have realized that music for dance primarily happens only in colleges and universities. I am bringing all of the lesson plans, courses, exercises, training and music for dance experiences to this space. My hope is to make this information available to a much broader audience at a fraction of the cost. Here is what I have available already:

 - Learning/Teaching Music for Dance - (6) Exercises

 - Composing for Dance - (1) Article and (2) Sound Design Courses

 - Accompanying Dance Class/Performance - (3) Article

One on One Sessions

I absolutely love teaching and mentoring one on one. They are a chance to go deep into creative ideas through kind experiential learning practices. This is always how I learn best. Here is what I am currently offering:

- Beginning to Advanced Ableton Live

- Composing for Dance

 - Accompanying/Performing 

- Beginning to Advanced Jazz/Improvised Piano

- Beginning to Advanced Music/Rhythmic Theory

 - Remote and In Person (location permitting)

Sessions are 60-90 minutes for $100.00. To book a session, please fill out these questions:

Workshops

 Dancers and choreographers have an embodied knowledge of music. All of my group work flows from this idea. The language that is used while working with dance is unique and completely accessible to any creative person. I do not teach music for dance from a place of deficit, but from a place of empowering the profound musical knowledge embodied in movement. Here are some of the topics I often get asked to facilitate:

- Collaborating with Composers

- Collaborating with Accompanists

- Rhythm/Beat Making for Dance

- Sound Design for Dance

- How to Accompany Ballet, Modern and Improvisation Classes 

- Licensing Music - Why it Matters and Why it Doesn't

I am available for single or multiple days/weeks and will work directly with you to cover exactly what you would like in the workshop(s). Workshops are available remotely or in person (based on location and duration). Send me an email below for bookings and inquiries:
