Music is bigger than us all, yet it can’t exist without us. For music to exist, we need to be at our very best as human beings - thoughtful, creative, expressive, connected, together. Music is the ultimate expression of people coming together to make the world a better place.

I’m really looking forward to returning to Canada this coming November.

Being married to a music teacher in December …

It’s holiday concert season!

Music ensembles - One of the few places in society where people of all ages come together to partake in the same activity, working together to produce some bigger, better, and more beautiful than the sum of its parts. Music ensembles bring people together in such a wonderful way.

If we’re preparing young people to succeed in the world that awaits, the best thing we can do is put them in music ensembles. They learn discipline, understanding, compassion, preparedness, collective responsibility, and cause and effect. Music learning is holistic learning.
