AP Music Theory Teacher

In 2013, I joined the faculty at Plano West Senior High School in Plano, Texas as an music theory teacher with 6 full sections of AP Music Theory. Since then, I have taught AP Music Theory to over a thousand students and thoroughly enjoy my position.

Here is College Board's AP Music Theory home page.

For College Board, I am an AP Workshop Consultant and lead AP Summer Institutes and One Day Workshops for AP Music Theory teachers. I have been a part of the AP Reading since 2015 in various capacities and have gained experience grading every free response question. From 2019-24, I was a member of the Test Development Committee..

In June 2023, I started a Youtube Channel with music theory songs and activities.

I made a quick appearance on the College Board TikTok account in March 2022.

Here is a link to Note Doctors, a podcast about music theory pedagogy for which I was a guest in February 2021. Note Doctors Episode 12

I have also made a number of AP Review videos for the College Board's YouTube Channel.
