About ME
Douglas Bartolme
Ahoy! My name is Doug. I’m a composer, sound designer, and music instructor. I’ve taught piano and music theory lessons for over 10 years, working with students of all backgrounds and ages, in both private sessions and classrooms of over 20 students. I hold a masters degree in music composition for film and games at New York University, and a bachelors degree in music theory and composition at Chapman University (Orange, CA). I’ve performed in rock bands and other various ensembles, including university orchestras. Music has been an immeasurable source of joy and meaning in my life, and I’m thrilled to share this passion with you!
"Put all your soul into it, play the way you feel."
