My summer has been pretty busy with a new job, place to live, and a side job. I will be teaching 3rd and 4th grade General Music and 5th and 6th grade Band as well as teaching lessons at Roncalli Elemmentary in Aberdeen, SD starting this fall. Exciting as this is, I still plan to write in the little spare time that I have. I am still working on getting the video and pictures from my last piece Misstep March, which was a fantastic success and was enjoyed by both the audience and the performers. Hopefully I will be more frequent with news updates and recording works I have been working on, including one or two pieces to hopefully premiere during Rushmore Music Camp in Aberdeen, SD and Keystone, SD.
