In addition to lessons, I'm excited to offer group Master Classes. You can view more information by clicking "Master Classes." I am also available as an accompanist and have enjoyed accompanying several choirs, including the Folsom High School, Sutter Middle School and Folsom Middle School choirs, the 2006 Elementary Honors Choir, as well as for Cantare, and adult choir based in Placerville, CA.  Piano tuning is available as well! Additionally I have hosted a weekly jazz jam session, which has included players and singers, both younger and older.  It's one of the best opportunities for jazz musicians to play and hear others sharing the American art form known as jazz.  More information can be found by clicking "Jam Sessions." Research has shown musical training has a profound impact on other skills including speech and language, memory and attention, and even the ability to convey emotions vocally.* Click on the side links for more information and Welcome to The Tuning Note! * http://www.nammfoundation.org/research/music-benefits-brain-research-reveals
