Music

Picture
I had the great fortune of realizing my passion for music from my calculus professor at Iowa State.
  • I taught middle school vocal music for 5 years
  • I have been a member of nearly every choir possible at Iowa State
  • I love jazz and improvisation...it stirs me
  • I played the trombone for about 15 years and now I'm merely an owner
  • I struggle to find a specific genre of music that is my favorite because there is great music in all of it.

"Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each."
