| Introduction | I taught in the Conservatory of Music of the University of Missouri Kansas City from 1963 until 1997. Courses were in the area of theory. I published articles in BACH, PERSPECTIVES OF NEW MUSIC, and THE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MUSIC EDUCATION. I am the author of WRITING FOR THE ORCHESTRA(Prentice-Hall, 1993). As a violinist, I have been a member of several orchestras--the Indianapolis, the Chattanooga(concertmaster),Rochester, Tulsa, and Kansas City. I was a member of resident string quartets at Pittsburg State University and the University of Missouri Kansas City. Also at the latter institution I was a member of the contemporary music ensemble and the baroque ensemble. I am a former member of the contemporary ensemble, NewEar, and am presently the conductor of the Medical Arts Symphony. I have written compositions for orchestra, chorus, voice, piano, and ensembles. |
