| It
was a privilege growing up in the great city of Boston where I have
been able to study with several of the most prolific teachers in the
area. I can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned from my mentors
like Garrison Fewel, Jon Damian, Jerry Bergonzi and Charlie Banacos.
With an additional 10 years of professional experience in the work
force as a professional musician under my belt, I decided it was time
to continue my music studies. I decided to attend the Berklee College
of Music in 1990. Since the completion of my studies at Berklee with
a Professional Diploma majoring in Jazz Composition Magna Cum Laude,
I began working within my profession as a musician and teacher as
I have continued to study music through private instruction and courses. |
