Upcoming recital and Masterclass

On March 20, I will be going to the University of Michigan to give a recital. Kathryn Goodson, piano and Jenny Walvoord, violin will be performing with me. Many of you might know Kathryn from the fantastic album that she did with Randy Hawes. If you don't have it...shame on you. Here it is:

Back to the recital. We will be playing pieces by Jan Koetsier, Georg Philipp Telemann, Charles Ives, Duke Ellington, and Daniel Schnyder. I will get more into depth about each of these works right here on my blog, as we get closer to the show.

After the recital, I will be giving a masterclass on the various aspects of being a freelance musician. Things will start up at 4:40pm in the Cady Room of the Stearns Building. If you want to find out more about Kathryn Goodson...

Welcome to my blog everyone! As you can see, it's pretty bare bones right now. I will be expanding it very soon. I hope to use this as an educational resource for my students, as well for my colleagues. For right now, I would like to plug the website of my good friend Mike Becker. He started up a trombone "boot camp" in Tucson last summer. Mike asked me to come down and help out with things and we had a blast. So, it looks like it's going to be a continuuing thing every year. Check it out!

Please feel free to contact myself or Mike with any questions. I will be back with more updates in the next few days.
