Students
I teach students of all levels, from amateurs to pre-professionals through professionals. Many of my current and former students have vibrant professional music careers, and I’m so proud of what they do!
Check out some of their work here:
Matt Gaydar of Glenn Echo
Elodie Germain of Resolve
One of my very talented recent Berklee students, Mel Fine (website linked above), wrote this amazing song about coming out as nonbinary. Mel has an incredible performance record and is also a very talented engineer. Keep your eyes on them!
My former Berklee student elishéva is an up-and-coming artist to watch, breaking genre barriers with her jazz-influenced dark pop and expressive, flexible vocals.
My former student (and Berklee alumna) Miriam Elhajli.
A tribute to Shel Silverstein
Words - Shel Silverstein
Music - Miriam Elhajli

My current Berklee student Leana Nykole wrote this powerful song “dedicated to the beautiful Amanda Gorman after watching her speak poetic words of power during the inauguration” of President Biden.
Berklee alumni Sam Foster is an incredibly talented songwriter with a beautiful high tenor voice, he’s another one to watch, especially if you like really interesting chords and intricately crafted lyrics.
