Play Songwriting at Independent Playground Studios

As a veteran music producer, children’s educator, and founder of Independent Playground Studios, I’ve spent decades helping young artists unlock their creative potential through songwriting and digital music production. I specialize in breaking down complex musical concepts into simple, engaging steps that build confidence and real artistic skill. My programs have empowered hundreds of students across schools, libraries, and community organizations to write, record, and perform their own original music. If you’re looking for a patient, inspiring mentor who brings both professional expertise and genuine passion, I’d be honored to guide your musical journey.

"“Some kids aren’t confident in their voices or because they can’t play an instrument. This program helps us improve and feel proud of what we can do. It shows everyone that every voice matters.” — Journey, age 9
