“Oct 2024 • A few weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of watching @peach.polaroid perform live! Most of the band members were once my students at @marywoodmtd , and it all began in my Songwriting class. Seeing them bring the work we crafted together to the stage was inspiring. I’m beyond proud and thrilled to see them turn our semester’s lessons into something so vibrant and real! 🌟 Keep shining, @peach.polaroid

Mar 2024 • Miami University, thank you! It was a great day. I had a blast connecting with my good friend Ricardo Averbach and working with three composition students who will have their pieces read by the university’s orchestra. In addition, during my morning session with the composition studio, the students proposed this list of important words/topics for composers, for organizing our discussion on what is being a composer!

@elisa.kovacs.13 surprised me with a lovely letter, a tea cornucopia, cookies, and a Sacher-Torte!!! Elisa is one of our brilliant students at Marywood, graduating this semester. She told me I could open the present with Mia, so I did it! Of course Mia loved it!!!
I am currently getting ready for the @vsmfcomposersforum , which happens in Vienna in a few weeks, so receiving a Viennese torte makes total sense.
@elisa.kovacs.13 you are awesome! I wish you all the best, always. Thank you for being great during your Marywood time!

A great friend gave me this amazing book, which inspires me in preparation for my Music and Spirituality class this semester, here at Marywood. I have been reading it while checking this beautiful Pennsylvanian Summer view!
