He has been commissioned by the VCDA Junior All-State Choir, Virginia Organization of Kodály Educators, Fairfax Choral Society, Penn State University, Central PA/ACDA’s Boyz Noyz, as well as several Tri-State District Honors Choirs.
Mr. Fox served for eight years as adjunct faculty for the University of Mary Washington Theatre Department and has twice been awarded “Teacher of the Year.” He received his Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and his Master’s in Education from The University of Loyola, Baltimore where he also received his Kodály certification from The American Kodály Institute.
