Glenn Richter teaches this class of freshman Plan II students and has invited me to guest lecture October 5th. I always enjoy spending a day with Glenn and his students each semester.
A Note to the Class of TC 301
The college experience is going to be wholly different for you than it was for me when I was a freshman music major in 1969. The ego-driven, autocratic classroom learning model of “I know everything and you don’t” is hopefully dying. Music is a dynamic subject, meaning we must learn together how to negotiate the rapid changes in technology and sociology.

Glenn Richter teaches this class of upper division students and has invited me to guest lecture October 5th. Glenn is a long-term ally of mine who actively searches out new experiences for himself and his students.
A Note to the Class of Mus 376C
Learning by appointment in the classic model of “here’s the information you need, learn it now” does not always work. Maybe this system is an effective way to study 18th century literature, however, any subject that is either dynamic in technology or highly personal and subjective is going to be bogged down under this archaic “non-method”.

A simple report can hardly explain the whole of the workshop at “The Buffalo Summer Institute in Media Writing and Production” in Buffalo, New York this last week. I really like to interpret my experiences beyond just what happened, otherwise we’ll all just be punching time clocks and this was definitely not punching time clocks.

Ted Kryczko, Vice President of Product Development for
Walt Disney Records, invited me to co-teach a class for singers at
The Buffalo Summer Institute in Media Writing and Production in Buffalo, NY. The twenty-one singers pictured above showed up probably not knowing exactly what to expect from us. We, also, had no expectations about the level of talent that might show up.
