He is currently studying composition with Thomas Matta and jazz guitar with Scott Hesse at DePaul University for their MM in Jazz Studies. Trevor’s compositions and arrangements have been played at the prestigious Auditorium Theater (2022), as well as at the Arie Crown Theater, and the legendary Jazz Showcase arranging for Tia Fuller and composing for the Bob Lark Septet (2023).
