Had a great time playing wind quintet hits at Waukee High School and Prairieview School with my Simpson College colleagues today! The students were super attentive and asked great questions!

I absolutely use Greg Wing’s edited flow studies for trumpet in my clarinet lessons and personal practice (today on E-flat clarinet). They help us establish a basic high voicing, cross the break without squeezing, expand range, and try out alternate fingerings. Together, we have all the answers!

Don’t mind me. Just very proud of this English horn reed I made for Crazy for You.

I’m excited to teach a new First Year Seminar at this fall! It’ll be a longitudinal study on the music of Superman while never losing track of Lois’ impact (and then focusing on her for the big project)!
