Expert Profile: The Professor

Expertise:  Multiple university degrees in music and several years experience in the field. I carry two bachelors, a masters, and am nearing completion of my doctorate (all in music). Subcategories of expertise include: education, performance, composition, theory, electro-acoustics, studio and sound recording, multiple styles of music, music software, methods of practice, and more. Though trained on several instruments, my primary ones are those in the percussion family (including drumset), acoustic & electric guitar and bass, and rare & unique instruments. I`ve been teaching in this field for over 13 years and have been a musician for much longer.
Training: Two bachelors degrees (music education and music performance); masters degree (performance with additional emphasis in composition); doctorate (performance/literature, theory/composition, electro-acoustics (sound engineering)) (in progress). Experience: I've been working and teaching in the field for over 13 years now.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Where would we be without music?
What do you like about this subject?  Music is an exciting part of our lives. It's that simple.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I plan on continuing my education for the rest of my life through various sources.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  To appreciate something you must first understand it. If a style of music has not yet lost grasp of your interest or preference, try getting a deeper understanding of its meaning and purpose. This may find you with the freedom to appreciate and enjoy more styles of music than you thought was possible.
