I also arranged music from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and wrote original music to accompany the story. This music, which is also available for a solo string instrument, can be used along with the story as a musical story time outreach performance. Listen to the string quartet arrangement with narration in English and Spanish here. Contact me to learn more and order the score.

Composition and Songwriting Classes

I’m working with pARTnerschools and several poets, including Ava Leavell Haymon and Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton, to teach virtual songwriting courses to students across Texas. In the workshop, students learn about poetry and lyrics, music and melody, and then write their own song. The song is performed in a “virtual choir.” Watch Everyday Emotions, The Virus, and The Weird Pandemic on YouTube.

I’ve also taught composition with Houston Grand Opera and AFA Texas.
