I teach Baroque Performance Practice and Ornamentation during the Winter Quarters. Pre-pandemic, I coached Baroque Ensembles and on occasion coached the string sections of the DePaul Opera Orchestra, and DePaul Symphony Orchestra on historical style and performance practice. I also gave presentations to DePaul's Composition Department on writing new music for period instruments.
