Music is life

Having always loved music, I started composing in earnest at 20.From 87-92 I studied composition at the Musik-Seminar Hamburg with Elmar Lampson. I have composed prolifically for 22 years for all levels of technical ability and in many different styles, striving to marry atonal and tonal styles. I teach people of all levels of ability and of all ages and give workshops and lectures on music internationally including Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Japan and South Korea.

"I compose contemporary music in the broad sense of the word! In the greater time perspective we are contemporaries of Bach, Mozart, Wagner etc. So the music I compose draws on influences from all of these. I thrive on the challenge of making familiar musical idioms sound fresh and new again, or the unusual sound familiar, as long as ‘beingness’ comes through the music.”
