Bellinger Sounds

Quite a full circle moment for me. I used to coach the HMS Fords and HHS jazz combo. This evening I am being honored as the artist in residence in Havertown.
All of the students have put in a ton of hard work—especially on the commissioned piece specifically for this evening.
Thanks to Alex Gittelman, Mike Fein, Drew Shanefield and Tom Kolakowski (and the others in the background making things happen). The four aforementioned gentlemen are not only great educators, but wonderful people too. Looking forward to a great night of music!

This festival would not be possible without the amazing generosity of our sponsors.

Hello Composers!!

Having the gift of composing music is fantastic and fun. But, sometimes writing a note can challenging….

So let me ask…

Have you ever been at your workplace with your tools ready and there isn’t an idea to be found?

Or, how about when you have an idea but seemed to have written yourself into a corner (and cannot escape)?

Perhaps, you have your idea and are ready to orchestrate but have no idea which instruments best express your idea?

Well, today at 1 pm I will be hosting a zoom workshop for people just like you entitled:
Tools for Tunes A Composer’s Workshop

I will be giving a FREE gift to those who participate in today’s workshop.

Comment “Workshop” down below 👇🏾 for information.

See you there!
