A young but well-rounded and experienced musician in both vocal and instrumental disciplines. I've gigged in and around the Lexington area for around 4 years with various vocal and instrumental ensembles, often on a tight schedule. I have strong connections in Jessamine County, I have taught there seasonally for two years and I have experience in private one-on-one teaching.
