I’ve got big news! I’m starting a new job this Fall as an Assistant Professor teaching music theory at Occidental College in Los Angeles. I’ll be joining a department that has been named one of the country’s top music business programs by Billboard magazine. Occidental is close to the center of America’s entertainment industry, and through its faculty and alumni has a lot of connections to the music business. It’s also one of the oldest liberal arts colleges on the West Coast, and word is a certain president spent some time there. Plus they’ve got beautiful weather!

On a more personal note, I’ll be back in California where I grew up, and where my parents still live. Which is pretty cool! Although I grew up in Northern California so I’m in for lots of new adventures learning about the south end of the state.

I’ll have some research news to share soon too! And, maybe, I’ll get around to writing a normal blog post again some day. 😎
