Alexander Rozin


Department: Music Theory and Composition

CAPC deals with what I think are some of the most important issues for the University in general and the School of Music specifically. I have strong interests in developing and adapting curricula to fit the needs of West Chester students. Though I have already been working on such issues at the departmental level, I want to broaden my horizons and consider curricula at the University level. Given my experience teaching at a liberal arts college, a research university, and a school of music at a state university, I bring a well-rounded and unique perspective to CAPC. I would greatly appreciate you support.
