From 2009 – 2011 I was Music Director of the Performing Arts Department and Music Theatre program at Elon University. Productions I conducted included Rent, Children of Eden, 110 in the Shade, and John Bucchino‘s piece It’s Only Life. Bucchino himself visited to coach the cast and to appear at the piano for all four performances. I also taught courses in Materials of Music for Music Theatre and Pop Music Repertoire. There are few parts of my schedule I enjoyed more than time in class with the Elon students, among the most talented people I have encountered anywhere.

Below are some of my favorite media taken during Elon’s rehearsals and production process of “Rent” which I music directed in February 2011.
