About Clay
I'm a pianist, composer, and computer musician who is passionate about music education. I believe in the power of music in our daily lives and I believe anyone can learn to play an instrument. In addition to my private teaching, I currently teach piano at Metropolitan State University of Denver, and have taught a variety of courses at the University of Colorado Boulder.
My bachelor's degree is in piano performance and pedagogy from West Texas A&M University. I earned my master's in composition at the University of North Texas, and completed my doctorate in music composition at the University of Colorado Boulder.
As a performer, I've played with ensembles and orchestras across the United States and am equally comfortable as a soloist. As a composer, I've written works for orchestra, the stage, chamber ensembles, and interactive and fixed electronics. My debut album Asnières was released in June of 2020.
