About Me
Composing With a Passion While Teaching Music
I’ve been playing piano for around 14 years, singing for as long as I can remember, and composing has been my main focus for over a decade now. After graduation from the Mason Gross School of the Arts (Rutgers University), I began working teaching composition and piano.
Throughout my life I’ve been a part of some of the most prestigious choral groups in NJ, such as the Kirkpatrick Choir, who I recently joined in helping the Eagles on their “Hotel California Tour”.
I am an aspiring television/film composer that has written primarily for vocal, chamber, and electronic works. My main areas of expertise include: piano/keyboard, voice, bass guitar, and songwriting/composing.
Music is my passion and as a recent college undergraduate I’m looking to help continue my passion and spread my newfound knowledge through teaching!
What I Can Do For You:
Studio Work
I have composed, performed, recorded and self-published several singles and an album. I can be hired for studio help.
Music Lessons
I can provide music lessons for ages for piano, bass guitar, auxiliary percussion, and voice.
My Experience
Member of the prestigious Kirkpatrick Choir, Graduated with a Bachelor of Music and my major was music composition (vocal primary). Aaron studied under Dr. Melissa Dunphy and Dr. Scott Ordway. I also performed with the band The Eagles during my time in college.
My goal for each lesson I teach is to create an environment where a student feels safe, respected, and open to their love of music! I strive to make each lesson feel productive and useful, while also remembering to be able to revel in the wonder and fun of creating music.
