After High School, I attended the Berklee School of Music as a Composition major. where I studied with Bill Malouf.  In those days, Berklee only had a 2-year diploma program.  After transferring to the University of Colorado (Boulder), I studied composition with Cecil Effinger (with an emphasis on choral composition), as well as studying electronic music with Phil Batstone, and working on the new Buchla and Moog synthesizers.
