Here’s a quick heads up: I’ll be doing a teaching resi­dency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida from February 13-March 5, 2022. If you’d like to come study with me, please apply! I should mention that everyone gets a full schol­ar­ship. Here’s my “resi­dency statement”: 

The music world is vast, and it’s impor­tant to remember that composers have a special set of skills with which to move through it. Yes, we can sit in our studios and be lone geniuses, but our expe­ri­ence and training are most useful in contact with the outside world. Studying compo­si­tion must mean studying how to be a complete musician: how to collab­o­rate, inter­pret, commu­ni­cate about music, and help others bring not only your ideas but their ideas to fruition. This isn’t just high-flown idealism; it is, in my expe­ri­ence, the surest way to make a life in music. 

This resi­dency is open to anyone working in music creation (not neces­sar­ily in “Clas­si­cal Music,” though that is my field), partic­u­larly those inter­ested in collab­o­rat­ing with perform­ers, writing for instru­men­tal­ists, and commu­ni­cat­ing with live audiences.
