Steve began his musical journey on the piano as a child, later moving on to explore
clarinet and trumpet in band before discovering the French horn in high school.
Though he earned his bachelor of music in horn performance at CSU, Sacramento, he never gave
up the piano, teaching students and accompanying choirs throughout college, and
earning scholarships for both instruments.

Steve has played for a number of musical groups, from orchestras, chamber
groups and community bands to being a pit musician in musical theater and
opera. This year, he will be joining the William Jessup University Wind
Ensemble and playing horn in that group. For the last several years, Steve has
directed the orchestra at his church, and has also arranged hymns and worship music
for church orchestras and smaller ensembles.

Besides teaching piano and horn, Steve's musical interests include music theory, arranging, composition, piano ensemble playing and ethnomusicology.

I have been a musician since 7th grade, when I joined my school concert and jazz band. I stared with the trumpet and brass section, and I practiced piano and received private lessons at home. By the end of high school, I was ready to take it to the next level. I got involved in hip hop and dee jaying, which is my passion!! As well as learning new instruments, I formed a successful band which I played with for several years. If you choose me as your teacher, I will ensure you have a solid framework for whatever direction you want to take your own musical experience! I have a passion for teaching others the gift I've been blessed with.
