Training

Voice (Aug. 2008 – present) Spencer Welch

I’ve been taking Speech Level Singing lessons to study vocal techniques in pop and Broadway styles.

Conducting (Sep. 2008 – Apr. 2009) John van Deursen

I studied beat patterns, articulations, shading and dynamics. Conducted Beethoven, Mozart and Dvorak pieces for piano and small ensembles.

Computer Music (Sep. 2007 – Apr. 2008) Michael Bushnell, Dr. Keith Hamel

Using Logic and Audacity create electroacoustic music in the style of musique concrète. Also used Max/MSP to interface with the Nintendo Wii remote to generate chords based on a singer’s melody.

Piano – ARCT (1992 – 2000) Rebecca Kelly, David Vandereyk

I studied for eight years as a classical pianist, with repertoire including Bach, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Debussy and Prokofiev.

Since receiving my ARCT diploma in 2000, I started playing piano for musical theatre, including works from Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Marx & Lopez (Avenue Q), Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar), Rodgers & Hammerstein (The Sound of Music) and more.

Scoring

Using Sibelius and my keyboard, I’ve transcribed piano/vocal pieces by ear when I need a score for something that is not available.
