It’s hard to believe I’m about to start my third year teaching at Western Michigan University. The first two years have presented a long list of challenges and some very deep personal rewards. This third year will add a few more challenges as I take on teaching a new class (Jazz Arranging) and directing an ensemble (Advanced Jazz Ensemble) while a colleague is off on sabbatical.
It’s been such a joy to be inspired by my students – and a great challenge to try to find ways to continue to inspire them! Here we go again…
Go Broncos!
