Welcome to Electronic Music
Dr. Kerwin is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee in music education. In 1989, after three years teaching elementary school music, he began teaching with CPS at Marshal H. S. Following a year at Marshal, teaching band, guitar, and music theory, he went on to Curie and taught those same subjects for three years. The next ten years brought about more work with elementary school bands and classroom music and a two year residency at Indiana University where he received the Doctor of Music degree in French horn performance and brass pedagogy in 2003.
