New Adjunct Professor of Percussion at Pima College / August 13, 2023
After a series of interviews this past summer, I have officially been offered the Adjunct Professor of Percussion position at Pima Community College here in Tucson, AZ. Homero Ceron, Former Principal Percussionist of the Tucson Symphony, held this professorship for many years and I am honored to be inheriting the wonderful percussion program that he has built. Plus, it will be a joy to teach alongside many of my other TSO colleagues at PCC.

Our ensemble will meet on Fridays from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM at PCC West Campus. Everyone is welcome, including complete beginners! Enrollment starts as low as $87 a semester!
Please help spread the word and feel free to reach out directly if you are interested in joining our percussion program at PCC!
