Teaching
As Associate Professor and Area Chair of Music Theory at George Mason, I teach the core undergraduate written theory sequence and seminars for graduate students. I recently worked with other Mason faculty to radically redesign our apporach to undergraduate theory, which you can read about in the article I published in the journal Engaging Students.
Open Music Theory
As part of a team of music theorists, I worked to create Open Music Theory v. 2, which is substantially revised and expanded from its original incarnation. OMT is an open-access music theory textbook suitable for the entire theory core curriculum.
