I’m a composer who writes for melodic instruments — recorder, flute, and Native American flute — with piano and small ensemble support.
My compositions are melody-based with a technical level suited for late‑beginner and early‑intermediate performers. My work blends lyrical phrasing, modal harmony, and gentle pacing with a pastoral aesthetic shaped by landscape and imagery.
