Moore is percussion head and associate professor of music at the University
of Iowa. A musician with a range of experience in the vast field of
percussion, Moore has performed as an orchestral percussionist, drummer,

Known for his expertise in electronic percussion, Moore developed
the MIDI marimba, an instrument on which he can produce acoustic and
electronic sounds simultaneously. Moore also developed a distinctive
playing technique adapted from the guitar, which enables him to play
bass lines, harmonies, melodies, and solos together. Moore's 2005 solo
CD "Now, Here, This" is a collection of original compositions
and treatments of standard and non-standard tunes.
Moore is a national performing artist for the Yamaha Corporation of
