New Original Composition.
Bassoonicorn, an original quartet for bassoons has been published by TrevcoVarner Music Publishing. This quartet, dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, Dr. Eric Varner and originally composed for Teacher Band is available now. A recording of this new piece can be heard on the “Music” section of this site.

Author
My instructional text, Training Wheels for the Bassoon is in its fourth revision and is designed for instrumental educators. The text centers around helping educators start new bassoonists and to be a reference. It is available for purchased in the Download Store.
Pedagogue
In early 2024, I will be compiling my pedagogical tools into one document for distribution. Rhythm and Articulation studies, scale patterns, and long tone exercises will be included. Check back to this space in the future.
