I'm currently studying composition under Glenn Buhr at Wilfrid Laurier University. I'm an avid performer and improviser, striving to expand my experience and knowledge of my craft. I highly believe that thorough understanding of each aspect of musical training integrates into a superior understanding and appreciation of art, and allows one to see how the different areas of musical study are all very strongly connected.
Composers should really get an in-depth understanding in many areas of music, so that way they can blend them and move freely through them as they would like.
