Professor of Music: Trumpet and Horn
"The best aspect of my job is participating in the musical and personal development of students as they progress through their course of study. The challenge of discovering what can be achieved through dedication and commitment from both student and teacher keeps me enthusiastic through twenty-six years of teaching."
