About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.

I'm on the faculty of the Boston Conservatory where I teach theory, ear training, tuning and temperament etc.

I've had my pieces performed around the US, Canada, France and the UK.

In my recent pieces, I've been exploring various types of just intonation in ways that are as "performer friendly" as possible.
