Hey I'm Levi and I am a currently a freshman at Brandeis University in Boston, MA, but I am originally from San Diego. I occasionally play in a silly little indie rock band called Lobster Party and in another one called Tight Pants. I'm a prospective music composition/business major (and prepared to be borderline-homeless for as long as it takes to get a decent job in the music industry), so you could say I'm following my dreams or something dumb like that. I love meeting new people, hearing new stories, finding new places, and trying new things in general!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach lots of things that involve music, such as piano, guitar, amateur bass, ukulele, mandolin, and drums! I can share my music recommendations and loving hearing new recommendations for myself as well. I also know a few good card games and tricks if that counts for anything. I can share a few stories too and would of course love to hear stories of other's as well.
As far as learning goes, I have a lot to learn! I would love to learn any new skill that someone is willing to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free music lessons! I listed some instruments that I could teach basic lessons for (or advanced if the instrument is piano) in the "Teach Learn Share" section. If you host me and have any of those instruments then I would be happy to teach you what I can or just have a jam session. I can also teach skateboarding and surfing as well, and help with anything around the house as well of course.
