Music4More
Impact Beyond the Barlines
As a self-published composer and independent small business owner, I handle every part of the creative process, from composition and engraving, to recording, publishing, and distribution.
My music is performed by professional musicians, universities, community ensembles, youth orchestras, and professional musicians across North America and internationally. Music4More exists to sustain that ecosystem and, at times, extend its impact beyond the concert hall.
What is Music4More?
Music4More is my commitment to protect the artistic and human side of music with the occasional community outreach. I’ve chosen to remain self-published so the mission can stay at the center of the work, even if that means growing more modestly.
Creating meaningful music takes real time. Your support helps give me room to keep making thoughtful, professional work and to take on projects that serve students, teachers, and communities when the opportunity is right.
Impact in Action
Ukraine Consortium
Through the Ukraine New Concert Band Music Consortium, ensembles worldwide came together to support musicians in Kyiv and raise funds for humanitarian efforts.
Together, we raised nearly $1,500 to directly benefit musicians and citizens, while raising awareness of Ukrainian arts, culture, and their lived experience.
First Gen Success
Partnering with First Gen Success, I created custom music for promotional videos, supporting their mission to empower young girls to recognize their strengths, advocate for themselves, and pursue higher education as first-generation college students.
Their dynamic program bridges the generation gap and addresses economic disparities, giving students the tools and confidence to succeed.
Access for Students
Through Music4More, I’ve made my music more accessible by offering discounted music to Title I schools and full-time students.
These efforts ensure that under-resourced ensembles and passionate students still have the opportunity to perform high-quality music, grow as musicians, and share meaningful performances with their communities.
El Sistema Colorado
In 2026, I teamed up with the educators and students at El Sistema Colorado to create a new work for their orchestra. This music was created at no cost to the ensemble, allowing the students the experience of premiering a brand new string orchestra work.
El Sistema is committed to providing free instruments, lessons, and ensemble opportunities for young musicians — with priority enrollment for low-income families.
