Expert Profile: The Professor

Expertise:  I can answer several music-related questions in general. I have multiple degrees and years of experience in the field, covering many topics. I am also already an AllExperts volunteer in other music fields. Refer to my bio for additional info. For this category specifically, I am able to volunteer my expertise in music composition, music theory, and songwriting. (I am *not* able to offer expertise in singing.) Thank you!
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). 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.
