about

Composer and hot-beverage snob,

Josh Hummel loves being creative and loves to inspire people with beauty and subtlety. He owns an award-winning composition studio, holds an M.A. in Theatre and a MMus. in Composition, and has studied with professors from the Hartt School of Music,

San Francisco Conservatory, and Julliard.

When not teaching or composing, you can find Josh reading, writing poetry, working on his novel, or bombing trails on his mountain bike. Most likely, though, you’ll find him enjoying his family: bikepacking, playing disc golf, or trying to win strategy games against his twelve-year old son, Sebi;

sipping tea with Trista, his lovely wife of twenty-one years;

or cozing up with eight-year-old daughter, Anya,

reading an improving book.
