In 1975, MacKay joined the music faculty at Pittsburg State as an Assistant Professor of Music. He became head of piano studies while continuing to compose original music.
Music composed by MacKay for trombone and various accompaniments comprises the bulk of the materials. There is also a program from a tribute recital held at PSU in 1998 featuring performances of his compositions, and two pieces written for voice and piano.
