Music Fundamentals: A Clear Approach

Dr. D. Gause has enjoyed a multi-decade career performing globally. The concentration of her performances has been in Las Vegas, where she has had the opportunity to play music with a diverse variety of shows, musicians, and entertainers. From ABBA (keyboard player for ABBA’s musical Mama Mia!) to We Will Rock You (keyboard player for Queen’s musical); from Andrea Bocelli to Luciano Pavarotti (bass clarinet player for Western US tours); her international career spans solo, chamber, orchestral, avant garde, classical, and popular genres. As a performing musician, D. Gause has done it all and in the process has amassed a wealth of practical experience. The musical requirements of a professional working musician have been shared on a daily basis at the College of Southern Nevada, where she has been a professor for decades. Music Fundamentals: A Clear Approach is the result of the merging of the academic and the “real” performance worlds, and is dedicated to all of her students. YES, YOU.
