Mathematician and Musician begets Acoustician
I have been successfully teaching mathematics since 1994. Now with COVID-19, I'm moving to an online platform and can open my studio beyond the community where I live. I am licensed by the Minnesota Department of Education to teach Mathematics grades 5-12. Previously I was licensed by Ohio Department of Education in secondary mathematics with Math Education from Capital University.
I teach music lessons, too! As a horn player, my expertise includes early horn studies in classical and baroque styles. Modern valved horn is also my passion. Did you know the horn is really a right handed instrument? The right hand in the bell is the most important way to adjust the pitch for a classical period horn player. I hold three degrees in music performance: Bachelor of Music from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN and Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts from The Ohio State University with early music studies at Indiana University.
In 2008 I formed the business DHW Designs LLC which incorporates the things I do: teach mathematics and music and perform music. You can find me performing with Lyra Baroque, Bach Society of Minnesota, Itasca Symphony Orchestra, Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra and Northern Lights Music Festival.
In 2016, I clicked my heels and said, "There's no place like home." Life in lake country is home to me. Daily I enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, boating, biking, walking, ice skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or gardening. I live near Grand Rapids, MN, the birthplace of Judy Garland.
I took private Horn lessons once a week with Dr. Heidi Wick for 5 years. In those 5 years there was never a question I had that she did not have an answer for, or a book readily available to find it in. She ultimately prepared me to study Horn at Bowling Green State University where I was able to start my college training without feeling overwhelmed because of the instruction I was given before. Heidi was always prepared, and never gave up on me. I am now a full time 6-12 Band Director, and have gotten to use the some of the same techniques she used with me on my own students. My time with Heidi was worth every minute.
