I have a Bachelors in Music from Florida State University, a Masters from the New England Conservatory of Music, and a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Washington (2012) [diss., Russian Lyric Diction: A Practical Guideā€¦]. I have a thorough background in Music History, Music Literature, World Music, basic Music Theory, as well as special emphases in Early Music, Opera, 20th Century Music, Vocal Literature (Art Song), and Electronic Music.
