Clinics/Concerts
I'm available on a limited basis for clinics, concerts, and workshops. Occasionally I'm invited as a guest composer for a weekend and I will share a concert or participate in the worship service on a Saturday night or Sunday with the church choir(s), perhaps conducting or accompanying them, and/or also performing my sacred jazz piano arrangements (with rhythm section, tracks, or alone).
I offer clinics on church piano, contemporary worship, choral arranging, and vocal jazz techniques for church and school music conferences. Please contact me for more information about scheduling me for your event.
