  1. I know you all got to see this at the concert, but this was my first major composition project, so it's probably what I feel most proud of at the moment.

    For those who don't know, I've been scoring a new musical over the past 6 months and I've been finalizing songs in my lessons. Here is my favorite piece of the show!

  3. The piece I'm most proud of this semester is my first piano "concerto". It's fully orchestrated for orchestra, but I'll be doing a wind ensemble adaption soon.

    This is the big A section of the large-scale wind symphony I'm writing right now. I started it for orchestration class, but had the intent of it being a bigger thing, so it will likely end up on my portfolio when I am able to get a recording! (it's based off of the hymn "Glory Be to the Father")

    This is my concerto for drumset piano reduction (coming to wind ensemble soon). This has been one of the most difficult semesters for me, however, the returns have been huge for my effort. I appreciate everyone's support and encouragement (which I do not take for granted).

    This piece is one of the daily compositions but I felt like I really experimented with many instruments for this one and I like how it turned out.

9/1/21 - Timbre

Compose an 8-measure duet for two of the same instruments (two trumpets for example). Focus on creating a moment where there are two distinct, contrasting parts using range, dynamics, and articulations to emphasize the difference and a moment where the two instruments blend into one another.
