Welcome

A little about myself

I am a writer and speaker on music education. I write on philosophical questions relating to music education.  My current interest is in ethical issues in music education and I have just completed a book, ​Values and Music Education.  I serve as editor of the Philosophy of Music Education Review published by Indiana University Press and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
