Just before the Covid pandemic I was fortunate enough to hear some excellent tango bands in Buenos Aires. I returned home and promptly immersed myself in learning the accordion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I have been involved in music for most of my life, the accordion is new to me. I started playing trumpet when I was in elementary school. By the time I was in middle school, with my brother on clarinet and my father on piano we were playing gigs at local parties and the community art shows. I received a master’s degree in music composition from University of Texas in Austin, and have played jazz trumpet with the Little Big Band in Austin. In the Boston area I have played with Jazz Echo and the Nate Aronow Nextet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More recently, my EdD dissertation at Northeastern University examined the ways in which musical attributes of workplace conversation matter in organizational learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
