The College Music Society promotes music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction. A consortium of college, conservatory, university, and independent musicians and scholars interested in all disciplines of music, the Society provides leadership and serves as an agent of change by addressing concerns facing music in higher education.
Celebrating Our Past, Present, and Future
Studying composition (as a minor) with Paul Zonn while pursuing my doctorate at Illinois in the 1990s changed the way I think about music. Composition lessons might have been more aptly described as life lessons. And our discussions about composing music most often focused on composing a life within music. Our time together still influences the way I think about the changing nature of our work and about the ways in which our art remains unchanging.
