CLASSES TAUGHT The College of Wooster (Assistant Professor, 2015 to present) Is the West in a Period of Decline?: First Year Seminar in Critical Inquiry Have social media, smart phones, entertainment news outlets, and other twenty-first-century phenomena impacted our ability to read, write, be politically involved, find an authentic voice? We ll confront sources on both sides of the debate ranging from newspaper articles to films to pop science to media theory to philosophy to polemics. Our goal is not so much to try to stake out a position in this contested field, but to use the question as a springboard for pedagogy in research methods, prose crafting, and critical thinking. Junior Independent Study Adviser Advised two Junior I.S. projects in music theory. The first is on musical meaning in Walt Disney s Fantasia (1940). The second is on the role technological developments in synthesized sound played in the emergence of Disco and House music. Music 302: Form and Analysis Designed and led this course dedicated to the study of musical form and advanced analysis. Music 304: Counterpoint Tutorial Designed and led this course on modal and tonal counterpoint. The tonal component was taught from eighteenth-century partimenti. Projects included an imitative two-voice motet and a threevoice fugue. Music 101 Designed and led this five-day-a-week course that combines theoretical concepts with musicianship (sight singing, dictation, keyboard skills, and a performance component). The course moves from fundamentals to diatonic triads, four-part writing, and the principles of harmonic progression. Music 102 Designed and led this second-semester sibling of Music 101. It rounds off the introduction to diatonic harmony (all seventh chords, sequences) and introduces small (8- and 16-measure) forms. Music 201 Designed and led this third installment of the core curriculum. Secondary functions (including deceptive resolutions and sequences), modulation, and larger forms (binary, ternary, theme and variations, sonata, and rondo). The final project of this course is the composition of a Minuet and Trio movement for String Quartet. Music 202 Designed and led this final component of the core curriculum, dedicated to later nineteenthcentury chromaticisms, including equal divisions of the octave. The final project of this course is the composition of an art song in Schubert s, Schumann s, Brahms s, or Wolf s style. Yale University (Associates in Teaching, with Patrick McCreless, Fall 2013) 6
Music 455: Schubert s Compositional Practice Designed and proposed a senior seminar on Schubert s songs and sonatas. The proposal won Yale s Associates in Teaching Award, and I co-taught it with Patrick McCreless. Yale University (Part-time Acting Instructor, -2015) Music 205: Tonal Harmony and Form Designed the syllabus for and lead taught this analysis-based survey course on music theory for non-music majors. Music 210: Elementary Studies in Analysis & Composition I Designed the syllabus for and lead taught this first core course for music majors on harmony, voice leading, and form; graded assignments and; coached two model compositions (a set of keyboard variations and a Minuet and Trio for string quartet), performed during finals week by professional musicians. Music 211: Elementary Studies in Analysis & Composition II Designed the syllabus for and lead taught this second core course for music majors on harmony, voice leading, and form. Included units on the pitch-class motive, semitonal voice leading, the augmented triad and other symmetrical harmonies, hexatonic systems, solita forma conventions in Italian opera, Wagner and Leitmotiv, and non-diatonic scalar collections; graded assignments; coached two model compositions, performed during finals week by professional musicians. Music 219: Elementary Musicianship II (and keyboard component of same) Designed materials for and lead taught this second aural skills, sight singing, and keyboard course for music majors which focused on chromaticism and music of the early twentiethcentury; ran a keyboard lab component outside class time to develop skills in keyboard harmony and thoroughbass reading.
