About Me

This is a place I will share what's new in my bassoon studio at the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music. I will post announcements and things to think about. Enjoy! I started this blog when I taught at Wichita State University, so the posts before Fall of 2008 are about WSU life. You can count on me posting news about former students, current students, my travels, and anything that I get excited about. To find out more about UoP, go to http://www.pacific.edu

Dave Wells and Dead Elvis

So I have this amazing colleague here in Stockton.  Dave Wells has been working with me on the upcoming Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Bassoon Symposium for this past year after moving here from Wisconsin. Don't know what I would do without him, and we have a great time working together.  He wasn't so busy back when he took on the MQVC project, but now, I kind of can't believe how many interesting activities he is juggling. I am constantly impressed.   He's giving a talk at the American Musicological Society conference in San Francisco this weekend, AND...

performing Michael Daugherty's Dead Elvis tomorrow night at Sacramento State, where he was recently appointed the bassoon instructor.

I hope he gets a video, because I can't go!  I am out of town this week playing Mahler 9 with San Diego Symphony.
