Composer. Conductor. Pianist. An advocate for music education, Joshua began playing music at a young age. Today, Joshua works as a musician in Kansas City, MO, where he is completing a degree in Composition at the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance. Previous to this, he served as the assistant conductor of the Washburn Symphony Orchestra, in Topeka, KS, studying under Dr. Christopher Kelts, and supplementally with Maestro John Strickler, conductor of the Topeka Symphony Orchestra.

Joshua is a strong advocate for education that is applicable to real life, and uses teaching techniques that are relative and easily understandable to his students. The musicality of his technique is universal in his applications, so students can easily make connections between emotional and technical aspects of music.

I have loved to play the piano since I was 8 years old, and I now love teaching piano as well. I have taught lessons for 12 years to students of all ages and backgrounds. I am classically trained in piano performance, but am also familiar with contemporary styles of music, including worship music.
