About Stephen
My name is Stephen and I am a passionate music composer and arranger. I graduated from the Mason Gross School of the Arts with my bachelor’s degree in jazz performance and an honors college certificate, having completed a 40-page thesis paper on Jazz Composition. I made Dean’s list every semester and graduated with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude.
Most recently, I've been writing music for video games, film, and other media. I have some projects in the works, but will share publicly when I can.
I have had the privilege to attend the Boysie Lowery Living Jazz Residency of 2021 & 2022, a by-audition-only musical residency for jazz composers and performers. This all-expenses paid, highly-competitive, residency provided free jazz composition lessons, masterclasses, ensemble rehearsals, listening sessions, and jam sessions. The whole experience culminated in a performance at the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival. There, I had the opportunity to perform my compositions with other members of the residency to a crowd of hundreds of people!
Another favorite musical experience of mine was in 2019, when I was back with the Play, on Philly! summer program. There, I taught a 5 week high school music composition course that ended with an opportunity for the students to have their compositions workshopped and recorded in a studio by a professional group, Orchestra 2001.
Please ask me for examples of my compositions – One of my greatest strengths is my actual work as a music composer.

I don't use a set curriculum because every student is unique. I pride myself in building lessons and assignments that cater to the specific student’s strengths and weaknesses. Also, I am incredibly fast at transcription (taking audio and turning it into sheet music). In the past I have transcribed and arranged music from Star Wars, Steven Universe, Pink Floyd, Camila Cabello, The Beatles, Billie Eilish, The Doors, and many more for my students.
All the answers to your music composition questions can be found in the music itself - and I can help you unlock those answers, together.
