Piano with Christopher H.

I am a composer and music educator based in Austin, Texas. Originally from the Nashville, Tennessee area, music has been apart of life for a long time; I grew up playing piano in church, played in several acoustic rock bands, went to school for music at Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Texas at Austin. I have written music for solo instruments, small chamber ensembles, chamber orchestra, wind ensemble, and have also written some fixed media electronic pieces. My music has been performed by various soloists and chamber groups, including the Stones River Chamber Players and the University of Texas New Music Ensemble. Other interests of mine include voice over work (recording and editing), writing and recording commercial jingles, and video work. I am also currently writing an entire primer-level music curriculum within Max/MSP (an object-oriented programming language) to create a prototype lesson for what will eventually be included in an iOS-based course for beginning music students. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons will tend to be laid back, and as every student's skill-level and desired direction may be different, curriculum will be decided upon after the first lesson or two. *** Specialties *** While I specialize in classical music, I have a strong background in popular and commercial music. I grew up in the Nashville, TN area and have experience with pop, acoustic rock, church music, folk, and electronic genres.
