Teaching Experience / Courses Taught

Carleton College, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Music, Cognitive Science, and the Humanities (2016-); Professor (2002-2016); Associate Professor (1996-2002); Assistant Professor (1990-1996); Visiting Instructor (1989-1990).

• Music 204: “Musical Structures” is the core course in music theory for the Carleton music major; project based, it requires students to explore all of the parameters of music–rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, texture, and form–using a wide range of approaches and musical styles.
• Cog Sci 130: “Introduction to Cognitive Science: The Musical Mind” is the gateway course to the Cognitive Science major or minor, and it covers topics including the embodied cognition of rhythm; linguistic syntax and musical structure; mental representations of musical sound and action; and perfect pitch and neural plasticity.
• Music 131: “The Blues From the Delta to Chicago” is an introduction to the historical, analytical, critical, and sociological study of music through the examination of the evolution from the Delta Blues to early Rock and Roll styles. Emphasis is on fundamental analytic skills and their application to the assessment of changing musical styles, as well as on understanding the differences between music in an oral versus a written tradition.
• Music 227: “The Perception and Cognition of Music” is an introduction to historical and current research in the perception and cognition of pitch and rhythm. It includes a companion lab (Music 228) in which student teams re-create and extend classic experiments in music perception.
• Music 239: “The Philosophy of Music” is an introduction to musical aesthetics. Topics discussed include: musical expression, musical representation and reference, authenticity in interpretation and performance, and assessments of musical value.

University of Pennsylvania, Teaching fellow 1985-87. Taught Music 20 and 21, Introductory survey of Western music for non-majors.
