With the use of CD’s and videos, he covers a wide range of subjects from the famous Three B’s (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms) to contemporary American music. Information includes the relevance of the composers he is talking about and their places in musical history along with revealing glimpses into their personal lives. For example, everybody knows Bach had 20 children with 2 wives and that Tchaikovsky was financially supported by a woman he never knew, but how many people know Mozart wrote the popular overture to “The Marriage of Figaro” the morning of its premier while suffering from a massive hangover? Wheeler’s own background is as extensive as any of the composers he talks about. As a performing musician, he has been the music director of the Tulsa Youth Symphony since 1972. He both performed in as a violinist and conducted concerts for the Tulsa Philharmonic and the Sunriver, Oregon, Music Festival along with the same duties for music festivals and camps in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, California and North Dakota. As an administrator, he has served on the staffs of the Cascade Music Festival in Bend, Oregon, the Teton Music Festival in Jackson, Wyoming, and the Tulsa Philharmonic where he as the Director of Education. Recently he received a lifetime achievement award from the Oklahoma Association of Music Educators and in November 2013, he received the Governor’s award for Arts in Education on behalf of the Tulsa Young Symphony.
