Articles & Chapters
From 2014 to 2016 I have served as the College/University Affairs chair for the Nebraska Music Educators Association. Part of the job is to write articles for the Nebraska Music Educator magazine. This high-quality publication is available to members of NMEA three times a year and it is a credit to the team of folks that put it together. Obviously the yet-to-be published material is, well, yet to be published. But here are some of my past contributions.
A fairly regular part of my scholarly routine has been to write articles and book chapters related to band literature. Most are easily accessible in their published form:
