“The occasional appearance of tonality within atonality is absolutely beautiful”
– Yoko Shimomura
Aaron is thankful from the bottom of his heart toward his teachers, most notably, Michael McLean (Composition, Violin), Margaret Shimizu (Violin, String Orchestra), Kathy Sawada (Theory, Piano), and Warren Spaeth (Theory) from the Colburn School of Performing Arts; Thom Sharp (Film Scoring) at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts; and Sean Friar (Composition), Garry Schyman (Composition, Bioshock) and Dan Carlin (Program Director, Screen Scoring) from the University of Southern California, Thornton School of Music, for all their care, guidance, and encouragement, and the developers and directors he has worked with. But more important than his career and even music itself, Aaron is thankful for His relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the fellowship he has at his church.
