Music for Movies

As many of you know, it's one of my dearest, darlingest dreams to be a songwriter/composer for a Pixar or Disney film.  When I was a little girl, I would notice the music from movies like Jungle Book and Mary Poppins and wish I could be the person who came up with those tunes!  I would listen for certain music cues in Errol Flynn's Robin Hood or Superman.  Writing music for movies, while not a career I'd want to do exclusively, is definitely something I'd love to do sometime in my life!


A couple months ago, my sister helped me put together a reel of some of the music I'd composed for various projects (some of the film from the projects weren't available so she added them to other films.  In other words, I did not compose the music for Charade. Alas.).  What do you think?

Adolescent Charm

As an insane Disney/Pixar-phile, I have always wanted to write a song for an animated film (anyone with connections to John Lasseter?). I got a chance a couple years ago to compose a soundtrack for an animated short, Adolescent Charm directed by Matthew Tardiff. After coincidentally typing my name in Google, I discovered that this film was posted on YouTube!
