Dr. Christopher Hepburn, a distinguished musicologist and concert pianist, bridges classical traditions with contemporary wellness philosophies through his innovative approach to sound and musical expression. With a PhD from Texas Tech University focusing on sound embodiment across Western and East Asian traditions, Dr. Hepburn's scholarship culminated in his groundbreaking 2023 publication on premodern Japanese song poems. His academic appointments include prestigious fellowships at the University of Southern California, where he has contributed to interdisciplinary studies in history, art, and culture with his advisees taking first-prize at various creative symposia. His pianistic lineage traces directly to Beethoven and Chopin through the Leschetizky-Czerny and Horszowski-Mikuli pedagogical traditions, enriched by studies with renowned pedagogues Leslie Spotz, Lora Deahl, and Tatiana Roitmann. This classical foundation, combined with masterclasses from Christopher Elton (Royal Academy of Music), Jennifer Elowsky-Fox (Berklee College of Music), and Nicoletta Conti (student of Leonard Bernstein), informs his electrifying performances—once literally startling an audience member during a particularly dynamic interpretation of the first movement of Beethoven's Tempest Sonata. In 2018, he gained international recognition through his contribution to the pioneering complete works recording of Alexey Stanchinsky for Grand Piano Records distributed by Naxos. Dr. Hepburn's research on sound embodiment has earned acclaim at prestigious institutions worldwide, including Oxford University, Columbia University, and Waseda University (Japan). His scholarly work uniquely synthesizes historical performance practices with modern wellness concepts, creating a globally holistic approach to premodern and contemporary musical understanding and expression. As a member of the Leschetizky Association, Dr. Hepburn champions an adaptive teaching methodology that honors traditional technical excellence while embracing contemporary pedagogical innovations. His approach seamlessly integrates classical rigor with modern cultural fluency—reflected in his passion for anime, manga, and digital media—positioning him at the intersection of historical preservation and future-focused musical evolution.

"Wow! He really cares about the health and well being of his students, especially those who are still in school and have outside schedules. The lessons are so much fun, and I can really see my progress.

My name is Jared McBride. I grew up in a sport-loving family and have participated in a wide variety of sports all throughout highschool and two semesters in college, including basketball (only sport played through college), track & field, cross country, football, soccer, and baseball. Through my years in athletics, I have learned how to balance competitiveness with professionalism. I am eager to help others grow by utilizing what I have been taught and what I have learned in my 10 years of basketball experience. I intend to not only train athletes to perform to their best of their abilities, but to most importantly keep a positive outlook on progression. Something as fun as athletics should never feel like a job to those participating, which is why I believe I can stand out and professionally train those to never look back on their past and regret the way they were taught to train, which I have unfortunately seen happen to peers. My blend of a decade of hands on experience and eagerness to help others exceed their athletic goals prioritizes not only success, but a supportive physical and mental health too. I am willing and ready to make winning fun! Coaching format: When it comes to basketball, there’s not one position I can’t help. From on the court success as a point and shooting guard, I quickly had to learn the roll of a post when my college trainers wanted to further utilize my height when needed. I attend to professionally and mathematically keep track of progression, focus on any major or minor flaws, and again, keep the learning experience positive.

I'm passionate about unlocking athletic potential on the basketball court. With 7 years of coaching experience, I specialize in fostering fundamental skills and building game strategy. Let's elevate your game together!
