For thirty years, Scott has written on music for every Monterey Bay periodical, including some that no longer exist and others he can’t remember.

He regularly writes features and criticism for publications in the San Francisco Bay Area, and occasional articles for Strings Magazine. During the same period, he has taught Topics in Music for the adult programs of the Carmel Unified School District, Monterey Peninsula College and Hartnell College. He created the Monterey Symphony’s in-school program in 1973 and was a founder of Youth Music Monterey.
