I’m on faculty… really!


Though it certainly had its drawbacks (did you know that if you Google “disturbing adjunct teaching,” this post of mine comes up? Ha!), I did enjoy having an institutional affiliation for my bass teaching for the five years I taught my university studio double bass. It was nice to be able to say that I was the bass teacher at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, rather than identifying myself as just some solo bass dude like I do now (though not in those exact words).

Therefore, for whatever reason, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling to see that I’m up, snarky sneer and all, on the DePaul University Music Education faculty pages:

Maybe I should have chose a less despondent picture for this! It looks like my puppy just died. Perhaps something like this would have worked better:

    Jason, with that picture (the one you really used) I can’t help but think you are being told something by a conductor and you are clearly humoring that person who wields a baton. We all know you’re gonna do whatever you’re gonna do, but you’ll humor anyone. ;-)

    But Jason, you were my successor on the faculty of the Ultimate School of Music long before this!
