COMPOSITIONS > PIANO SOLO > Preludes for People in My Life
Preludes for People in My Life is probably my biggest composition project to date. My goal was to create a set of pieces, one in every major and minor key, like Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and Chopin's Op. 28. The pieces vary in length and style and are each dedicated to someone who had an impact on me during a part of my life. I am about half way through the project with 10 out of the 24 finished. Sheet music, audio, and video recordings are available for sale individually by clicking on their respective pages below. Save big by pre-ordering the entire collection. When they are finished I plan on publishing the music into a book with pictures, descriptions, and stories of the people they are written for.

I worked at Disneyland in 2006 for almost 3 years. It was a great undergrad job and I met some of the most interesting people during my time there. Disneyland is a huge organization with thousands of guests that visit from all over the world. What people don't realize is that there are also thousands of Cast Members working together that actually make the magic happen. With tons of young people together in a confined space, there was inevitably going to be some crushes and drama. In my second year I was promoted to Lead and most of these pieces are dedicated to different members of my Main Street East team.
