10/14/2017 - This will be the first season in a long time (about 10-12 years) that I will not be a docent with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s (CSOA) Docent Program. But I do want to leave something for all the teachers, students, docents, parents, colleagues, and those who supported me and this program over the years.

It is access to my personal web site that I used when I presented my own material and my lesson plans. It is available as a  public site that teachers and educators might find useful.  It does not have all the programs of the past 10-15, only  those that I personally presented to various groups. There is no password required, and is entirely free, but there is a place for individuals to support this site if you wish.  I plan to try to keep this site up-to-date with some fresh ideas of my own and from from teachers and educators who wish to contribute to this site. Check out and browse http://www.musicresources.live or click on a selection from the menu at the right  ……………>

There is also a web site for the Docent Program, containing all the archived material from Docent Programs going back to 2005. If you would like access to that site, contact the Docent Program at the CSO for permission. The CSOA site is http://www.docent.live and there is a password required for this season’s (2017-18) repertoire.
