Des Moines Area Community College Jim Loos Music Program Chair Music Professor Choral Conductor About me. Contact me. Music Program Information: Please scroll down.

Hi! Thank you for visiting my homepage!

Since the mid-1980's, I have taught, at various times, Music Appreciation at all but one of the DMACC campuses either in person or over the ICN. Since the fall of 1997, I have been full-time on the Ankeny Campus where I direct the choirs, continue to teach Music Appreciation (now, over the Internet), oversee the Ankeny Campus Music Faculty, and provide direction for the DMACC Music Program.

As Music Program Chairperson, I solicit your ideas for what DMACC should/could offer in its music curriculum that we currently do not have in the catalog, or for suggestions of changes in the current offerings. I feel that there is much more DMACC can be doing musically and I welcome all comments and suggestions!

Please contact me by telephone, e-mail, or fax or come to my office. For our mutual convenience, please arrange for a time to meet with me. Thanks again for seeking me out! I hope to hear from you soon!
