“Garrett is a dedicated, creative, and flexible composer. I’ve commissioned him for a Grade IV+ piece and worked on two other pieces by him in the Grade III range. His music is emotive, powerful, expressive, contemporary, and fun to play. Additionally, he is a consummate professional – punctual with deadlines, collaborative, humble, and versatile.”
Mark Dorn, Professor of Music & Coordinator of Instrumental Music at Colorado Christian University
