Expertise:  Regarding creativity in general, I can assist with: the creative process; what's new and isn't new under the sun; establishing the right mind-set; a means of achieving variety; taking advantage of ideas from a set routine; taking advantage of ideas from sporadic epiphanies; methods of documenting your ideas; thinking within the construct of your subject; thinking outside the box; adaptation through association; incorporating material that you are not familiar with; approaching the development process on macro and micro levels; compiling relevant material; and interpreting other reactions to your creations. I can also answer several music-related questions. I have multiple degrees and years of experience in the field, covering many topics. Refer to my bio for additional info.
Two bachelors degrees (music education and music performance); masters degree (performance with additional emphasis in composition); doctorate (performance/literature, theory/composition, electro-acoustics (sound engineering)) (in progress). I've been working and teaching in the field for over 13 years now.
