I have taught music performance, history, theory and composition for many years. At Dino, I teach music both as a performing activity as well as a platform for learning about language and the world. I am interested in a wide variety of musical styles and I have composed music for dance, film, orchestra and choirs. More recently, I have been focused on performing with my wife in the accordion and violin duo Cricket and Snail.
