I have been commissioned to write music for musicals, films, and concert works for producers and ensembles in New York City and across the United States. Whether for professional productions or personal events, I bring a unique writing style, crafting catchy tunes and emotionally resonant pieces that connect with audiences. With an incredible knowledge of writing for both instruments and singers, I am able to create music that is rich, dynamic, and perfectly suited to the needs of the project. My collaborative approach ensures that I work closely with producers and directors to bring the larger vision to life, enhancing and elevating the overall experience with thoughtfully crafted music.

Based in New York, I offer live music services as both a pianist and singer for a variety of events and venues. From piano bars and weddings to holiday parties, assisted living events, restaurants, cocktail hours, and bar mitzvahs, my performances are tailored to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. With an extensive repertoire and strong sight-reading skills, I can accommodate almost any musical request. Whether performing solo piano, solo piano-vocal, or with an ensemble of talented friends, I bring a personable touch to every event—often with a bit of humor to keep things lively and fun.

With years of professional experience in music directing and conducting—including musical theater productions, choirs, a cappella ensembles, orchestras, and small groups—I bring an exciting, collaborative approach to every project. My keen ear ensures that the composer’s musical vision is fully realized, and I excel at creating detailed rehearsal schedules to keep productions on track. In my music direction, I encourage a full-body engagement, with everyone gathered around the piano to embody the groove and harmony of the piece. Whether you need leadership for a large-scale production or personalized guidance for a smaller ensemble, I am dedicated to fostering a positive and productive working environment.

I offer lessons to all ages, levels, and styles in Piano, Composition, Songwriting, Conducting, Music Theory, and Ear Training. I am available for both in-person (NYC/NJ) and virtual lessons. I have also presented many lectures on various musical topics. I have tutored many students at the Juilliard School.

With a strong background in counterpoint, vocal arranging, and orchestration, I bring a wealth of experience in crafting intricate and vibrant arrangements. Having worked as an orchestrator and arranger on both professional theater productions and pop music projects, I specialize in tailoring my work to the specific needs of each performance. Whether working with a small ensemble or a full orchestra, my focus is always on delivering a polished, unique, and dynamic sound that enhances the emotional depth of the music.

With expertise in music preparation and a keen eye for detail, I deliver high-quality, accurate scores with a quick turnaround. I’m proficient in notation software and take pride in ensuring every element is perfectly aligned. Rather than charging by the hour, I prefer to charge per project because I’m dedicated to the entire scope of the work—ensuring that the music is presented clearly, professionally, and in a way that serves the vision of the project.
