Years of Experience: 6 Location Options: In Studio, In Home Travel Radius: 20 Genres: Jazz, Classical Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Keyboard and Piano Lessons,Orchestral Lessons Overview: Donald’s eclectic approach to music is one best described as unique. Raised in an environment where music was as much a part of life as breathing, Donald developed his musical identity like a child goes through his adolescent years.Growing up in the Ifa tradition, Donald’s first musical experience was with traditional “African Praise Music” playing the drums and singing. Later he learned to play the trumpet through the Cleveland Hts. School system and quickly gravitated toward jazz. By the age of 18 Donald had performed with Terence Blanchard, John Clayton, Jeff Clayton, Bobby Watson, and Winard Harper. After graduating Cleveland Hts. High and Cuyahoga Community College simultaneously, Donald was awarded a scholarship at the esteemed Oberlin Conservatory. There he studied with jazz greats like Marcus Belgrave, Billy Hart, and Gary Bartz. While pursuing his studies Donald continued to demonstrate his musical talents. He performed with such greats such as, Gerald Wilson, Billy Hart, Marcus Belgrave, Jimmy Heath, Eric Lewis, Frank Foster, Roscoe Mitchell, Donald Byrd and the Jazz Heritage Orchestra to name a few. It was at this time that Donald became aware of his gift for composition. He was commissioned to compose the piece Stark Winters for the independent film Man Cry. He also composed a four movement suite for the Jazz Heritage Orchestra entitled Spirit of New Orleans. Upon graduating from Oberlin, Donald furthered his education as a graduate student at Rutgers University. There he was mentored by, the legendary William Fielder. Since his move to New York City, Donald has had the honor of performing with such greats as Geri Allen, Victor Lewis, Frank Lacey, Michele Rosewoman, Cecil Brooks III, Mike Mossman, The Drifters, Eddie Palmieri, Conrad Herwig, and Frank Sinatra Jr. Donald, also will be in the new film by producer Michael Hausman (The Firm, Broke Back Mountain, Amadeus) called Downtown Express where his song Juanita from his new album The Mothers will be heard. In March of 2009, Donald released his debut album Spiritualtiy with his cutting edge band SIGHT. Here, he has revisited his spiritual roots, combining the music for the Orisha (African deities of the Yoruba people) and jazz. Each song on the album embodies different aspects of the Spirit, be it love, femininity, masculinity, aggression, destiny or wisdom. These energies represent different aspects of God, and through this music, the creator is praised. SIGHT has now recorded their second album which was released in March of 2011 called, The Mothers. Now residing in Brooklyn, New York, Donald continues to push forward. He is always being inspired and is determined to transcend boundaries. Like life, Donald’s music grows with each new experience. “A person can never lay stagnant. You either move onward and upward or downward and backward.” * Formal Education: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ Masters in Jazz Studies, Trumpet (2006-2009) Oberlin Conservatory, Oberlin, OH Bachelors in Jazz Studies, Trumpet (2003-2006) Private Education: William Fielder- Rutgers (2006-2009) Dennis Reynolds-Oberlin Conservatory (2005-2006) Marcus Belgrave-Oberlin Conservatory (2003-2006) Roy Poper-Oberlin Conservatory (2003-2005) Steve Enos- Tri-C(2000-2003) Kenny Davis-Oberlin Conservatory (1999-2001) Performing Experience: Valery Palmanorov Big Band (2010-present) Cecilrsquo;s Big Band (2006-present) Guyrsquo;s and Dollrsquo;s (2010) The Drifters (2009-2010) The Jazz Lobsters Big Band (2009) Rutgers Big Band (2006-2009) Oberlin Jazz Ensemble (2003-2006) Donald Malloy and Sight (2009-present) The Nu Jazz Project (2010-present) Enoch Smith Group (2009-present) Geri Allen @ Montclair State (2009) Just A Lil Bit (2008-present) Jazz Heritage Orchestra (2005-present) Gerald Wilson Orchestra @ Detroit Jazz Festival (2004) Billy Hart @ Nighttown, Cleveland, OH (2004) Experience Teaching: Rutgers Community Music Program, New Brunswick, NJ Trumpet (2007-2010) Jazz Connections, (Montclair State), Montclair, NJ Trumpet, Theory, Improvisation, Ensemble (2007-2009) Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland, OH Trumpet (2004)

Formal Education: I graduated with Associate's Degree in Music Education from Miami Dade College and am now in senior year for Bachelor's in Musical Theater. Private Education: I was in private voice lessons and acting lessons for about 8 years. Performing Experience: I have sung professionally since I was 13. I began Musical Theater in high school. I have worked in West Side Story as Ensemble, Sandy in Grease, Camila Rosario in In The Heights, Eliza in Hamilton and Cosette and Eponine in two different productions of Les Miserables. I was also a Disney character look-a-like for a children's party company playing the ldquo;look-a-likesrdquo; of Elsa, Aurora, Maleficent, Merida and Mother Gothel. Experience Teaching: I began love for teaching as the Soprano Section leader in high school. I never saw that role as in ldquo;I am in charge" but more as a being able to help anyone and everyone. After graduating high school I began doing private voice lessons and have been doing so for 4 years now. -Education- Degree: Bachelors/Musical Theater School: Valencia Dates: 2016-08 Degree: Associates in Arts/Music Education School: Miami Dade College Dates: 2013-08 -Reviews- Name: Carl Shedd Date: 2017-12-11 18:26:35 Title: First lesson Body: Lesson was exactly what I needed to get started for an upcoming audition.
