Hi All! My name is Joseph Schertzer, I am a senior Human Development with a premed focus. I was classically trained on the Piano, and then moved on to rock, jazz, and middle-eastern/Israeli music. In addition to Piano, I dabble on the guitar and bass. In high school, I participated in several Musicals and performed extensively with my school band. At Cornell, I perform music with a band at a local synagogue for many celebrations throughout the year, and am very open to new projects and bands.

Generally, I rely much more on my ear and experimentation to produce and perform music, so I believe this course is right up my alley!
From a young age, I was always fascinated by different types of sounds, rhythms, and music I could make using natural sounds.  I am very excited to take this course I will be able to approach music from a very different angle.
