THE WALZ MUSIC QUICK BIOGRAPHY:

Aaron Walz has been composing since he was one digit old. He pleaded with his parents for his own piano and it all started. He learned MIDI as a computer composition tool in High School to help him orchestrate larger works.

He then began Walz Music, which trucked along in the background for about 10 years as a severely time consuming hobby. Now, after leaving his Human Resources career in 2007, Aaron is ready to take Walz Music into the foreground.

Aaron also trains as a countertenor
with Chanticleer chorus veteran
Chris Fritzsche

He sings first tenor & countertenor with the
Golden Gate Men's Chorus
& has been a member of the
San Francisco Choral Artists

His BA in Music is from:
Sonoma State University
