Music has always been my bridge connecting Albany’s churches through choir workshops, uniting audiences at the Christmas Jazz Concert, and now guiding students at Rehoboth. With 20+ years as a multi-instrumentalist, I believe music isn’t just about skill, but the hearts and communities it transforms. Here, you’ll train with a mentor invested in your growth, both on stage and in spirit.
