About

Music from several perspectives.

My work spans trumpet and electric bass performance, arranging and orchestration, and music education. Across each area, I value thoughtful musicianship, collaboration, and meaningful connections between performance, creativity, teaching, and scholarship.

Education

Teaching music as history, culture, craft, and experience.

My teaching includes music appreciation, history of rock and roll, world music, and music theory, with an emphasis on accessible, organized, academically substantive learning experiences.

Scholarship

Research at the intersection of technology and music education.

My scholarly work examines technology expectations, teacher workload, professional support, and the ways technology can serve music education without displacing the human work at its center.
