I’m looking forward to:

• Returning home to the Bay tonight, seeing my parents and my cats, and playing my parents’ piano
• Getting a new upright piano on Tuesday for my new house in the City
• Spending a lot of quality time composing, practicing and maybe even writing some lyrics
• Moving into my new house on my own in a few weeks

Soon I’m hoping to:

• Start a small jazz band with my friends and play originals
• Find some good venues that will have me play
• Find some more students to teach

At some point I’m hoping to:

• Finally finish rewriting my senior project composition
• Write and record a set of short-form, solo-piano compositions and/or write a set of compositions for mixed ensembles–the important part is that the works hold together as a set
• Put out an album of electronica/jazz/hip-hop/vocal music
