Residency Project
I think the idea of having a working musician/songwriter coming into the Music Programs can offer a lot more than just what’s on the surface of these programs. After spending 2 years working with an experienced producer who has written and composed music which has been featured in such high profile shows as “The Office”, “Vampire Diaries”, “Degrassi” and countless. I’ve really gotten a crash course in Song Composition / Design Production. I think this is something that’s been lacking in school-based Music classes that I think I could really contribute to the development of.
Teaching Experience
Since 2014 I have taught yearly classes (both private & class-based) within the Miramichi area. Group classes teaching Guitar 101. Also offering private one on one classes of either Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano etc.
