An active clinician, adjudicator, conductor, and cellist, Eccles has served as music director and principal conductor for numerous youth orchestras.

The music reading sessions are an eagerly anticipated part of the Fall Conference. Be sure to bring along your string instrument and music stand so that you can join in the fun!
