Biography: My career in music undoubtedly started when I invited my entire Kindergarten class to a concert at my house, much to the surprise of my parents. I had my first public piano appearance when I was seven and was playing in a school Jazz band by age 10. I have played Jazz with various ensembles in my home country of Switzerland, most of which included my dad. I was also director of an Italian children’s choir I have been watching my wife, an award-winning FWISD teacher of 25 years, change lives for the better. This, along with having a now 10-year-old daughter ignited a desire to teach and direct children’s music as a career.
