Developed an at-risk program for the College of Music. This program identifies
students early in their program who show potential risk of academic decline or
dropout. It has been highly successful and has resulted into Freshmen-
Sophomore retention rates between 88-92%.
Supported new course development at UNT’s satellite campus in Frisco, TX

University Core and their impact on College of Music semester credit hour
generation. Currently working on development several new courses that will be

I lead a study abroad trip to Europe, alternating each year between Austria and Hungary. The course
counts as an upper level Music History elective. The course studies the historical and musical contexts of
Austria and Hungary through the lens of the composer/pedagogues Carl Orff or Zoltán Kodály. The
course was conceived and created by me, and it has resulted in ten study abroad trips that have included
approximately 125 music education students.

College Music Teaching, designed for doctoral graduate students from any music
discipline who are seeking positions in higher education. Average enrollment is 22
students. Feedback on the course has been outstanding.

course has been outstanding.
