After receiving his degrees from Columbia University, Garrett began workingthere as a "computer person" - doing things like wiring residential halls for computer networking while also taking classes onthe side, includ- ing some music courses. Garrett said the classes sparked his interest, leading him to earn a third degree - this time in music - and go on to receive his Ph.D. from the Uni- versity of California, Los Angeles in 2004. "I couldn't have predicted this is the way things would turn out, but I'm happy the way they turned out," Garrett said. As a University faculty member since early 2004, Garrett teaches introductory classical, modern and popular music courses as well as jazz history courses and varying graduate and undergraduate seminars. With such a variety of classes, Garrett added, he's found that there are end- less teaching methods. "I haven't found one way to teach," Garrett explained. "I've definitely been influenced by my own teachers in terms of how they engage with stu- dents and in terms of treating music as an important source of knowl- edge." Garrett's classes vary from tradi- tional, discussion-based seminars to extremely large lecture-based class- es. In addition to having the ability to do research and teach at the same time, Garret said he appreciates that the University places a high value on music. "Ilike havingthatcombo of having the music school within a larger Uni- versity," he said. Garrett added that he appreciates the University's abundance of oppor- tunities to get involved in musical life, especially for undergraduates. Garrett doesn't limit his own life to strictly classes, either. He said he is the editor in chief for "The Grove Dictionary of American Music." He is currently working on a 4.5 million word second edition, which will also be available online when completed. Garrett has already written an Irving Lowens award-winning book, "Struggling to Define a Nation: Amer- ican Music and the Twentieth Cen- tury," and is currently outlining ideas for his newest book, which he says will be about humor and music. Gar- rett said he is tackling this twist on music with no previous background in comedy. "It's a topic I think is interest- ing and popular and widespread but there hasn't been very much scholar- ship on the subject," he said. - ANNA ROZENBERG 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SMILOVITZ KATIE JOZWIAK Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-418-4115 eat. 252 734-418-4115 eat 241 smilovitz@michigandaily.com tmdbusiness@gmail.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Officehours:sun.-Thurs.51a.m.-2a.m. 734-418-411 5opt.3 News Tips news@michigandaily.com Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Lettersto the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Photography Department photo@michigandaily.com Arts ection artspage@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com EDITORIAL STAFF Matt Aaronson ManagingEditor aaroono@michigandaily.com Jillian Berman Managing News Editor berman@michigandaly.com SENIORNEWS EDITORS: NseAber, Stephanie Steinberg, Kyle Swanson, Eshwar Thi,,nvukars,DevsonThosby ASSISTANT NEWS EDITORS: Bethany Biron, Dylan Cinti, Caitlin Huston, Lindsay Kramer,JosephLichterman,VeronicaMenaldi,ElyanaTwiggs Rachel Van Gilder Editorial Page Editor vangilder@michigandaily.com SENIOR EDITORIAL PAGE EDITORS: Michelle DeWitt, Emily Orley, Laura Veith ASSISTANTEDITORIALPAGEEDITORS:WillButler,WilGrundler,HarshaPanduranga Ryan Kartje ManagingSportsEditor kartje@michigandaily.com SENIOR SPORTS EDITORS: Mark Burns, Michael Florek, Tim Rohan, JoeStapleton ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITORS: Alex Hermann, Chantel Jennings,Stephen Nesbitt, Zak Pyzik,AmyScarano, Nick Spar JamieBlock ManagingArtsEditor block@michigandafycom SENIOR ARTS EDITORS:CarolynKlarecki,Andrew Lapin, JeffSanford ASSISTANT ARTS EDITORS:KristynAcho, LeahBurgin,Sharon Jacobs,KaviShekhar Pandey Max Collins and photo@michgandaily.com Sam Wolson sManagingePhontditors SENIoRPOTOEDITORAriond,Mtarissa McClain ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITORS: Jake Fromm, Jed Moch Anna Lein-Zielinskiand design@michigandaily.com Sarah SqUire ManagingDesignEditors SENIOR DESIGN EDITOR:Maya Friedman TrevorCalero Magazine Editor calero@michigandailycom DEPUTY MAGAZINE EDITOR: Jenna Skoller Melanie Fiedand copydesk@michigandaily.com AdiWollslenn CopytChiefs BUSINESS STAFF Juliannatnim Sales Manager SALES FORE MANAGER :St phanieBowker MARKETING MANAGER:Gjon Juncaj Hillary Szawala Classified Manager CLASSIFIED ASSISTANT MANAGER: Ardie Reed Jason Mahakian production Manager Meghan Rooney Layout Manager Nick Meshkin Finance Manager Chrissy Winkler Circulation Manager Zach Yancer Web Project Coordinator The Michigan Daily (ISS 0745-967) is pblihed Moday though Fiday dring the fall ad wintrtersbystdentsatthernivestyiofihiga.Onecopyisaailablefreofcrgetoall readers.Additional copiesmay be pickeduopat theDaily' sofficefor$2.Subscriptionsforfaliterm, (Sepmbrthrghpi)is$195.Univesityaffiiatesae subettsaedcedsbsriptioat.
