His two “musical storybook” compositions, “Lighthouse Keeper” and “Fire in the Big-Top!”, have been performed for thousands of children in Maine, Massachusetts, New York City, California, and Australia. In 2022, he was named Distinguished Composer of the Year by the Music Teachers National Association.

Emma Bradshaw is a rising senior at Wheaton College who discovered the scope of her passion for songwriting in her freshman year. As a sophomore, Emma spent the fall semester in Professor Case’s songwriting class, followed by an independent study with him that spring. In addition to songwriting, she is also a versatile musical theatre performer who was recently seen at Wheaton in a starring role in Rent. Emma loves how versatile music can be, from an aid in working through difficult situations, to making others laugh. She is very grateful for the connections and memories that music has created in her life and looks forward to where it will bring her next!
