Faculty

David Douglas (Wooster 1981-1990) just retired after 35 years of teaching, the first nine of which were at Wooster. After teaching at New Fairfield High School, David and his family moved to the eastern end of Long Island, where where he taught for 20 years. David reflects, "I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Lawrence Davis, who gave me my start in choral directing and to mentors like Joe Grover, Korb Eynon and Donald Schwartz. But most of all, I am grateful to the students of those nine years, who shaped my career so importantly by teaching me about what it means to be a musician in a school community."
