MUSIC
Over 13 years playing trumpet has allowed me to use my ear at a high level. I have developed skills in multiple aural areas such as performing, transcribing, arranging, ect.
Trumpet, Piano, Sibelius, Audition, etc.
The Pizzas Have Guns
For a game design class, I was tasked with helping a small group design a video game and arrange music for it. The group of three (including myself) came up with the idea for a simple competitive two-player top-down shooter. The games coder asked if I could arrange, “the pizza time music from Spider-Man.” I agreed and got to work arranging “Funiculì, Funiculà”
Frost School of Music
Below is a concert I performed in as the band's lead trumpet.
Transcriptions
I also have experience transcribing songs. Transcribing is one of the best ways to train the ear and become a better musician. All my transcriptions were done in Sibelius.
