Lead the this Community Band in Warm-ups and Sectionals. Three members of the band (two Alto Saxes and one Tenor Sax) played the world premier my composition "Clown Antics" in May, 2003.
Author/Composer
May, 2015 - Feb, 2019My book: "Page to Performance"
I wrote a book on Sight Reading and Expanding Listening Awareness utilizing ten of my own compositions and sight reading exercises. I am in the process of figuring out how to get it self published. A dream I have about this project is that Eastman and Julliard (two of the best Music schools in the U.S.) designate this book as a Must-Have for developing musicians.
Arranger/Composer
Apr, 2014 - Sep, 2018Introductory Melodious Etudes DUETS
I composed Duet parts to all 65 of the Introductory Melodious Etudes by Federick Sieber, compiled by Alan Raph. I use these in Brass lessons so that my student and I can play something that exercises the student's sight reading skill AND strengthens his/her Expanding Listening Awareness.

I played all of the Tuba parts in this Brass Quintet.
