Graduate and undergraduate courses in Music Education
I enjoy working with Christian faculty, staff, and students who have a sincere desire to fulfill their respective roles, goals, and calling in Christ. When I entered my undergraduate program in music education, I had a clear calling to serve Jesus Christ through music teaching and learning, with a long-term goal to teach in higher education. When the music faculty position became available at Anderson University, I turned down other offers because I knew I could express my faith openly in my teaching and work with my colleagues.
