Along the way he received lessons from renowned musicians, including Vardan Ovsepian, Andrea Keller, Barney McAll, Geoffrey Keezer, further enhancing his musical prowess.   

         Patrick's musical expertise spans a wide spectrum, encompassing improvisation and bebop vocabulary, theory, arrangement, composition, and the art of free playing.
