The Department of Music is located in the Ivan Wilson Center for Fine Arts on the Western Kentucky University campus, atop a hill overlooking the south central Kentucky city of Bowling Green. Our reputation for training successful undergraduates as performers and teachers has earned us the respect of school districts throughout Kentucky, the region, and with the National Association of Schools of Music, who has continuously accredited us since 1948.

In my studio, I work on a broad range of topics so students graduate with top-flight performing abilities as well as being knowledgable and skilled teachers. Technology is very common in our studio, from recording lessons onto CDs for students to study each week to practicing with the SmartMusic Accompanist ™ computerized accompaniment software. I come to WKU after being a professional musician in New York City for many years. I have lots of knowledge and experience to offer, but most of all, I have endless enthusiasm to teach and help my students be the best they can possibly be.
