His teaching experience includes teaching applied music and academic courses at all levels from undergraduate to graduate.

He studied with jazz drummers Joe Hunt, Skip Haden, Ed Uribe, Dave Weigert, and John Ramsey at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA from 1983-1984. He then studied classical percussion with Gary Van Dyke and Ray DesRoches briefly at William Paterson University in 1985 where he performed with the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble. In 1989, he began his studies of jazz and classical music at Rutgers University where his teachers included composers Noel DaCosta, Phil Corner, Daniel Goode, jazz musicians Keith Copland, Kenny Baron, Bill Fielder, classical percussionist William Moersch, and modern dance composer and world percussionist Robert "Tigger" Benford. Scott studied ethnomusicology, musicology, and culture studies at Kent State University from 1996-2003 with Terry Miller, William Kenney, Robert West, and composer Halim El-Dabh. He is a graduate of Rutgers University (B.A. in 1994) and Kent State University (M.A. in 2002, currently ABD for Ph.D.).

As a scholar, his published work remains focused on issues relevant to percussionists and includes interviews and articles published in Modern Drummer, Percussive Notes, Rhythm Music, Dulcimer Players News, Batera & Percussão (Brazil), Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, Volume 2: Performance and Production, and The Concise Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, among others.
