About Greg
I'm a professor of music and director of choirs at Lone Star College-Montgomery, a community college in the northern suburbs of Houston (view my college bio page). My teaching load there consists of conducting the choirs and teaching several sections of ear training. Sometimes I'll teach a section of something else as an overload (music fundamentals, appreciation, or even the first semester of music history), but for the most part the choirs and ear training classes keep me plenty busy.
I went to Oberlin for a music ed. degree, studying piano with Lydia Frumkin. After that I completed two master's degrees at Eastman: choral conducting and music theory pedagogy. While a student there, I was a TA for ear training, and then my last year in Rochester I taught ear training full time (six sections a semester!) on the theory faculty at Eastman.
I sing professionally with the Houston Chamber Choir, frequently accompany singers and instrumentalists in recitals around Houston, and sometimes even sing a recital myself. In the summers, when I'm not teaching at LSC-Montgomery, I teach workshops at Eastman in Dalcroze Eurhythmics as well as Dalcroze-based movement classes for choral conductors and I'm on the choral conducting faculty at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Interlochen, MI where I conduct the High School Singers and occasionally the World Youth Honor Choir.
