Masterclasses & Coaching
I come from both a performing side of the business as well as a composing side of the business and I will not only be focusing on the performance aspect of your song, but on the musical aspect of your songs as well. I will help give you a better understanding of why the music is written a certain way to support the character and coincide with the lyrics of the story. Music is never written as mindless background noise. It's there for a reason and having an understanding of why it moves and flows the way it does can only enhance your knowledge of the piece and your performance all together.
