This photo was taken when I first arrived at Marywood, back in 2021… and now I’m closing a five-year chapter. Thank you, Marywood community, for welcoming me so warmly. I really enjoyed my time here — I learned from and shared so much with students, faculty, and administrators. Farewell! I will always remember you fondly.

Best birthday surprise today at Marywood 🎉

My students decorated my office door, left me a hat, and even a word hunt book 😄

I’m really lucky — every day I get to work with smart, musical, and awesome people.

Grateful.

Apparently I’ve been renamed “Dr. Diggy” by my music theory students 😂 This is awesome! They surprised me with Valentine’s notes. If my students find joy in understanding and making music together, we’re on the right track🤩

“Oct 2024 • A few weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of watching @peach.polaroid perform live! Most of the band members were once my students at @marywoodmtd , and it all began in my Songwriting class. Seeing them bring the work we crafted together to the stage was inspiring. I’m beyond proud and thrilled to see them turn our semester’s lessons into something so vibrant and real! 🌟 Keep shining, @peach.polaroid

Mar 2024 • Miami University, thank you! It was a great day. I had a blast connecting with my good friend Ricardo Averbach and working with three composition students who will have their pieces read by the university’s orchestra. In addition, during my morning session with the composition studio, the students proposed this list of important words/topics for composers, for organizing our discussion on what is being a composer!

@elisa.kovacs.13 surprised me with a lovely letter, a tea cornucopia, cookies, and a Sacher-Torte!!! Elisa is one of our brilliant students at Marywood, graduating this semester. She told me I could open the present with Mia, so I did it! Of course Mia loved it!!!
I am currently getting ready for the @vsmfcomposersforum , which happens in Vienna in a few weeks, so receiving a Viennese torte makes total sense.
@elisa.kovacs.13 you are awesome! I wish you all the best, always. Thank you for being great during your Marywood time!
