What do you love about collaborative music making?

Getting to work with such a broad range of talented singers! I've been introduced to so much great music that I never would have played otherwise.

 

What is your favorite music to play and what is something you love about playing?

I love playing musical theater because I love collaborating with lots of other musicians on one united production, and because I love being able to tell stories through music.

 

What is a skill you've learned through music that you use in your everyday life?

Listening! Music is all about communicating with your fellow musicians and understanding what they are communicating to you.
