Although I retired from fulltime college teaching in 1996, I remain active as an educator. I get my teaching "fix" now in the form of cliniics and masterclasses, usually in combination with concerts when I travel. In addition to getting students interested in jazz improviation, I also have taught classes in, music technology, arranging and orchestration, music careers, general musicianship, and presentations about Trinidad's "Panorama" competition and the state of pan in Trinidad.

I thrive on interaction with students, and like to "get my hands dirty" as a teacher. Nothing is more gratifying than to see light bulbs illuminate over the heads of learning musicians.

In addition to my traveling, I also have been a regular faculty member of the Centrum jazz Workshop/Jazz Port Townsend in Washington State.
