Additional Highlights

Stage Band is a particularly interactive course. Students are truly invested in this creative process, and there is generally a feeling of camaraderie among them. I try to take advantage of this energy by incorporating some of their suggestions about repertoire or routine. Such was the case in Spring, 2013.

Also, I can't overstate the value of the robust dialogue I share with my department colleagues. It is thorough, candid and always illuminating.
