I'm excited to announce the release of my first album on the WSU label, Solemn Music! This album features David Maslanka's three works for solo marimba: Variations on Lost Love, My Lady White, and A Solemn Music. It's now available on all platforms!

It’s an honor to be announced as one of the winners of The American Prize (instrumental category, professional division)! This award comes after the submission of recordings from my first album on WSU School of Music’s peer-reviewed label, “Solemn Music.”

I arranged it in 2021 for a WSU percussion ensemble pre-recorded zoom concert during the Covid pandemic. We also performed it with the scene from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on our first No Spoilers concert in 2023 and at the 2025 NAfME Northwest Conference.

It’s been six months since the release of my first album, “Solemn Music!” Released on WSU’s peer-reviewed label, it features the three unaccompanied marimba solos by David Maslanka.

I’m reflecting on a fantastic semester of percussion at WSU! Not only have we seen sustained growth in our area, but the level of talent continues to amaze me. I’ve been able to push my students farther and I love hearing what they’ve accomplished in their ensembles. GO COUGS!

Did you know there’s 232 members in the Cougar Marching Band this year, and they show up about 6 hours before football games to rehearse! There’s 12 sections, including 4 woodwinds, 5 brass, drumline, color guard, and twirlers. Sections vary by size from 8 (baritones) to 30 (drumline). More photos ➡️ facebook.com/media/set/?vani….
