I have served as both as Teaching Assistant and Teaching Associate (principal instructor) for the Music Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. During the 2007-2008 academic year I redesigned the curriculum and taught the lectures for Music 15, a popular music appreciation class with an enrollment of over 400 students. That same academic year I served as the Music Department's Lead Teaching Assistant, directing the department'sl TA Orientation and leading an educational methods seminar (Music 501) for new graduate students.
In my teaching I strive to make effective use of modern instructional and multimedia technologies, utilizing a rich variety of audio and visual resources. For each course I have taught I have maintained a dedicated website in order to provide students with easy access to essential course information, as well custom-made online resources. (For an example of some of the course materials I have created in the past, see the links at the bottom of this page.)
