About Paul S.

5.0

(9)

I am a composer, professional musician and music educator. I have recorded and performed with many different artists. In 2012 I became the Director of Performing Arts at my alma mater Marin Catholic College Preparatory in Marin County, CA. Along with my colleagues, I helped create a contemporary performing arts model which has since led to many graduates pursuing music, acting and film/tv in both the collegiate and professional worlds. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2017, I am currently in my thesis semester for my Master's in Music Composition at Vermont College of Fine Arts. I continue to expand my composition horizons, recently completing pieces for percussion trio and string quartet, as well as theme songs for several podcasts. I also perform as a bass player.

Paul has been an incredible teacher. He is helping me learn the guitar and I’m a lot further ahead then I thought Id be. He is also helping me with my song writing and composing. I highly recommend him.

Experience

Director of Performing Arts

Aug, 2012 - Present

Marin Catholic College Preparatory

The Marin Catholic Performing Arts Department is a comprehensive program of musical and dramatic expression that is built into the cultural and religious fiber of the Marin Catholic community. Students will develop the skills to prepare themselves for the professional, academic, and religious worlds. Achieving this goal requires a multifaceted approach. Firstly, the students will receive instruction in theory, and technique from MC faculty and industry professionals alike. Secondly, students will prepare for life as a performer in the 21st century. They will be immersed in the technologies of today, and apply those skills in original, contemporary, and multidisciplinary ensembles. Exposure to a myriad of styles, medium, and performing opportunities are emphasized as a key component of development. Finally, students will be empowered with ownership of, and leadership within, the performing arts program. Students can organize their own groups, and design and run their own shows. With this set of skills and experiences, graduates will be ready to succeed in both academia and professional industries.
