Since moving to New Jersey in 2010, I have been extensively involved in the curriculum writing process. Because of the specialized nature of musical content, opportunities to craft and develop curricular programs continue to open up each year. Through the years, I have found a new passion in designing curricular programs that are challenging, unique, and meaningful for every student in the room. Below is a list of music courses I have authored in the last seven years.
