As a percussionist, educator, composer, and collaborative arts leader, I am committed to developing the next generation of comprehensive artist-musicians: percussionists who are technically excellent, artistically curious, technologically fluent, and prepared to lead and contribute across a wide range of musical contexts. My approach to building a percussion studies program is grounded in the conviction that exceptional teaching, active artistry, and genuine mentorship are inseparable. Over fifteen years of full-time collegiate teaching, an active career in solo, chamber, and orchestral performance, an extensive commissioning practice, and sustained investment in recruitment have shaped a body of work I am proud to share here. > [!info] > If viewing in a mobile browser, select the document title link to view the full PDF file in a new tab. ## [Teaching Philosophy](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JC8u5_rwoT0657eoGBNaF2Igka2lRakc&usp=drive_fs) ![[teaching-philosophy.pdf]] ## [Visionary Objectives](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LAX_hefwy_ojm1KtC2LXxaF_93QB3S11&usp=drive_fs) ![[visionary-objectives.pdf]] ## [Percussion Studies Curriculum](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ywh7VNg7hvTMUi12zMfaH07GfJlqCJak&usp=drive_fs) ![[percussion-studies-curriculum.pdf]] ## [Curriculum Vitae](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1X1x7O4oHyovA9MzrRgtvqeh3ggiH1ryL&usp=drive_fs) ![[curriculum-vitae.pdf]] ## References **Thomas Burritt** University of Texas at Austin Director of Percussion Studies [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) (512) 471-0514 --- **Nicole Wendl** Boston University Tanglewood Institute Executive Director [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) (617) 358-1682 --- **Joshua Simonds** Percussive Arts Society Executive Director [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) (773) 351-0324
