Music

BS This user has a Bachelor of Science degree in Music.

TU This user attends or attended Towson University

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in the spring of 2020.

I took History of Music in the U.S. with Dr. David Cosper at Towson University. For your enjoyment, here is my final argument essay from that course:

• On a Mission From God - analysis of the line between tribute and appropriation in the 1980 film, The Blues Brothers.

Due to COVID-19, the Spring Semester of 2020 moved to online-only, and in-person recitals were canceled or postponed. Rather than wait for a chance to perform in the lovely recital hall, I opted to film my Senior recital in my living room. If you're interested, here it is, warts and all!
