Teaching

Teaching Self-Appraisal

It has been a great start in the teaching area as part of the trumpet studio here at Texas Tech.All of the students enrolled in my section performed successful juries and continue toperform well in University ensembles. Planning for two junior recitals in the spring of 2014began during the fall and I am excited to continue the teaching process with these students.

I am proud of my work in leading students in my trumpet ensemble section towards thecompetitive arena. These students worked tirelessly in submitting a quality recording for theNational Trumpet Competition.

One of the students in my applied area successfully completed an application for a TMEAscholarship and was awarded the honor of being a 2014 TMEA Scholar along with a $2500award.

Through the generous allotment of start-up funding I have been able to install recordingequipment to record each student lesson and create a database to track student progress andgrades.

Research and Creative Scholarship

Research and Creative Self-Appraisal

I am pleased with what I have been able to accomplish in the area of artistic and creativeactivity in just one semester at Texas Tech. The pinnacle of the semester was a successfulsolo performance of André Jolivet’s 2nd Concerto for Trumpet with the Symphonic WindEnsemble. In addition to this I presented two full-solo recitals along with Will Streider in theDallas Area and a host of “Trumpet Fundamental Clinics” at various high schools.

I was delighted to be invited to perform Mahler’s Second Symphony with the LubbockSymphony Orchestra and happy to continue my long-standing relationship with the AlbanySymphony Orchestra in New York with a subscription series performance in December ofthis year.
