I went to study some orchestration stuff because I got so inspired working with all the orchestras.

I also work with the regular orchestras in Munich, Germany and other similar orchestras.

I've learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky.

When I was growing up, in L.A., I went to these schools, Fairfax High School, Bancroft Junior High School, and they had great music departments. I always played in the orchestra, the jazz band, the marching band.

I love working with an orchestra, but there are many ways to make music.

I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them.

I've been lucky to conduct the very best orchestras in the world: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Berlin, the London Philharmonic.

As a young pianist in Hollywood, I began orchestrating for others, and I just felt really comfortable doing that.

I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.

I went to this little performing arts school in downtown Phoenix. You had to dance or act, and everyone sang in choir. I started out playing the saxophone, but I always wanted to be in an orchestra. That was a dream as a kid, and there aren't a lot of saxophones in an orchestra.
