I hold a master’s degree in music composition from McGill University. Previously, I completed a Bachelor of music in music composition at the University of Oregon. My professional history includes awards such as first-prize winner at the Frost International Composition Competition, third-prize winner in Untwelve Microtonal Composition Competition, third-prize winner of the Golden Key International Composition Competition, the honorable mention for the Elevate Ensemble international call for scores, and the Max Stern Fellowship in Music as well as the Graduate Excellence fellowship in Music. I was also given the “Outstanding Undergraduate Composer” award in 2017 by the University of Oregon composition department. My works have been performed in Perth, Vienna, Oregon, Florida, Boston, and Montreal. Since 2008 I have been teaching students privately on subjects of piano, music theory, aural skills, music history, composition, and orchestration. Additionally, I have classroom teaching experience at university level. In summer of 2019 I had the privilege of teaching 3 summer courses at the University of Oregon. where I taught courses on music theory and aural skills. Moreover, in Fall 2019 I had the opportunity to be the graduate teaching assistant at McGill University for an undergraduate level course called “art of listening.” This course was essentially a survey of music history from 9th century to 21st century. I believe that learning music should be a fun and rewarding experience. Whether teaching a class or one-on-one, I strive to create an inclusive and positive learning environment where I can work together with the student/s to create goals and inspire them to have high standards for their own progress and performance. I am committed to help students reach their full potential in learning music.
