My Music

In addition to teaching music, I am also a composer, a producer, and a recording artist. My artist name is theSoulBelow. I wrote about how I balance teaching with creating music on my blog here.

Studio Christmas Album

Holiday-themed illustrations including a snowy village, a piano surrounded by Christmas trees and gifts, and musical notes with winter decorations.

A man and a young girl in a recording studio, both wearing headphones. The man is sitting at a desk with a microphone and music sheets, while the girl stands nearby holding a paper. The walls are decorated with pictures and a plush blue lamp is hanging.

During the winter season of 2023, all the students of Piano Belloso Music collaborated together to help me produce a full Christmas album, featuring 14 of their favorite holiday songs.

This was a massive effort by all, featuring not only piano and keyboard talent, but also violin, viola, clarinet, and VOCALS by students who are multi-instrumentalists.

As a producer and composer, I tried to use very original and unique-sounding arrangements, and in some cases, I created my own, synthesizing and programming additional band instruments (guitar, bass, drums).

The resulting album is one that we can all be very proud of. I released it to streaming platforms for the first year; but due to the costs involved in cover song licensing, I had to pull the album from the platforms.

Thankfully, it’s still available below for your listening enjoyment.
