I've been playing percussion for over 12 years. I studied at St. Petersburg College and the University of South Florida, under the direction of John Shaw (Principal Percussionist of the Florida Orchestra) and Robert McCormick (Former Tympanist of the Florida Orchestra). I had an abundance of performing opportunities throughout college. At my college recital I showcased an hour long performance of all perfected percussive instruments.
Sometimes I play as a duet with a featured soloist, Alexandra Sexton, who plays the Flute. If requested, we will both play for you as we have also been working together to being wonderful classical music to the public.
Teaching is an option, and I would consider giving private lessons as well as performing. I am very good with school aged children and have a lot of experience teaching elementary and middle school students.
My main instrument is the Marimba, as it is such a fun instrument to create with. My goal is to touch the hearts of people that love the sound of the soft, luscious tones of the keys when I perform. I am looking forward to playing for you.
I would require a decent staging area, one that is 12' x 6' or larger. The Marimba is a big instrument. Also, I would require some setting up and breaking down before and after performance. Otherwise, no electrical plugs needed unless desired. Minimal lighting needed to read music if need be.

Classical and Contemporary Pieces. Holiday music and Island tunes. Religious music and wedding songs. Jazz or Spanish pieces if needed. Specific song choices by the employer might affect the overall quote, but it is definitely something I am willing to negotiate. Can learn pop or soft rock songs appropriate to the venue as well.
Depending on the venue, I might need a mic/PA system to amplify my sound.
Just enough lighting so you can see my performance.
Space big enough to comfortably perform, no less than 12' x 6'
