Georgia College Keynotes

Greetings to all our students, parents, alumni, Friends of Music, fellow faculty, and community partners! We are pleased that you are reading the fifth installment of Georgia College Keynotes. Each time we come together to write the newsletter, we have a moment to reflect on all of our accomplishments as a department. Student success is a priority at Georgia College, and we are pleased to inform you that the Department of Music has excelled in this regard over the past semester. Ten music therapy students gave conference presentations, two students will be attending prestigious summer programs, and one published a scholarly article. At least a dozen students gave senior recitals. And this success continues after graduation. Over the past few months, our newly-minted graduates have accepted teaching positions and music therapy posts, and many are continuing their studies in well-regarded graduate programs across the country. In short, we are not only growing, we are glowing! Thank you for joining us on this journey. Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful summer.

As we close the spring 2022 semester, the Department of Music has continued to thrive in our new reality as we navigate Covid-19 and its variants. With our ability to live stream, our limited seating of in-person concerts, and access to large spaces on and off-campus, we have maintained our connection with our students and our audience.

Our music faculty have remained actively pursuing their research and various creative projects, and many have received invitations and awards during the Spring 2022 semester. Recently, Dana Gorzelany-Mostak received the COAS 2022 Award for Excellence in Teaching and Tina Holmes-Davis received the COAS 2022 Award and the University Award for Excellence in Online Teaching. Our music therapy faculty, Katie Whipple, Laurie Peebles, and Susan Craig, presented at the SER-AMTA conference in Lexington, KY along with some of our current students in the Music Therapy program.

The Department of Music hosted over 40 concerts and workshops led by both our own faculty and guest artists for the academic year. Laurie Peebles hosted a Graduate Seminar weekend in January with guest alumni speaker Jacqueline Sertell, MT-BC (BMT 20’), Matthew Robinson (adjunct guitar instructor) hosted a guitar workshop in February with guitarist Daniel Bolshoy, and Jennifer Piazza-Pick hosted a virtual career workshop with Angela Myles Beeching. These activities have provided our students with experiences beyond the stage.

The 2nd Terry Endowed Concert, “Songs and Sonnets,” featured all Georgia College ensembles performing Shakespeare-inspired musical works. College of Arts & Sciences Dean Eric Tenbus served as narrator. JazzFest returned to Front Campus, featuring guest artist Marshall Gilkes under the direction of Chris Enghauser (adjunct bass instructor). Tyrone Jackson performed with the faculty jazz Quartet and hosted an evening jam session in the Arts & Sciences Courtyard. Stay tuned for the 2022–23 concert series and events on our website.

We continue to pursue community outreach opportunities. Music therapy students returned to live performances with the Creative Expressions concerts at the Life Enrichment Center. Don Parker and Mia Eaton hosted the 4th Annual GC Day of Percussion with Joe Moore III in a day of in-person and live-streamed workshops and performances.

We are wrapping up a few of our initiatives and preparing for the future. We submitted our optional response to National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) based on our visit in October 2021, and we are waiting for the commission’s decision on our accreditation. The unification of the Departments of Music and Music Therapy under the College of Arts & Sciences continues with the merging of our electronic music lab with the keyboard lab in Health Sciences for more classroom space and upgraded technology. We return with in-person summer orientations in June and July. We will continue with our monthly zoom-in meetings for prospective students in coordination with the Office of Admissions starting in September 2022. After an extensive search process, we will be welcoming Robert Stewart as our new Lecturer in Music Therapy and Gabrielle Banzon (BMT '14) as our new Lecturer in Music Therapy/Clinical Coordinator this fall.

We look forward to connecting with all of our students, alumni, and Friends of Music this fall. Please stay in touch, stay safe, and get boosted.

Class of 2022: A singer's creativity grew as she expresses herself through song

State’s 2023 Teacher of the Year gets master of music education from Georgia College

This semester felt relatively back-to-normal, especially after March, and busy with four concerts. After a hiatus last year, Max Noah Singers (MNS) performed their annual concert, Valentine’s Day Rendezvous. MNS and Women’s Ensemble (WE) combined to present Raising Her Voice, a concert of vocal and choral music by female composers. All three choirs, MNS, WE, and University Chorus (UC), performed in the 2nd Terry Endowed Concert, “Songs and Sonnets.” UC sang George Shearing’s Songs and Sonnets with Lizzy Galloway on bass and Hue Jang on piano. WE sang Ein Sommernachtstraum (A Midsummer Night's Dream) with the GC Orchestra, Youngmi Kim, and Jennifer Piazza-Pick. MNS and UC combined to perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music with the GC Orchestra and student soloists. And, last, but not least, all three choirs were represented at Music at the Mansion, with UC performing with a select ensemble of singers.

We were very fortunate to hold our rehearsals up to the beginning of March in the beautiful and acoustically rewarding sanctuary of First Baptist Church in Milledgeville. We are ever so grateful for the hospitality and assistance of the church, especially Madelyn Wright. We would also like to thank the team at GC Production Services, led by Keith Bergeron and Clay Garland, for all of their work live-streaming our events. We look forward to having our first post-pandemic High School Choral Day this fall on September 23rd.

GC Jazz Combo At GMEA

On January 28th, the GC Jazz Combo (Mary Mead - Alto Sax, Levi Rafal -Trumpet, Elizabeth Galloway - Bass, Ellie Deener - Piano, and Jacob Hammock - Drums) was invited to serve as the demonstration group for Jerry Tolson’s (University of Louisville) clinic on Jazz Articulations at the GMEA Conference in Athens, GA. The Combo also performed in the Chamber Concert, Music at the Mansion, two private events on campus, and a small set for each of the Amici Jazz Jam Sessions.

GC Jazz Band

The GC Jazz Band was under the direction of bass instructor Chris Enghauser while Cliff Towner was on sabbatical this semester. The band continued its traditional two-night run of concerts entitled A Little Big Band Music featuring music born from the great big bands of Louis Prima, Dizzy Gillespie, Jaco Pastorius, Jeff Coffin, and others. All band members were featured as soloists. Mr. Enghauser was delighted at the opportunity to direct the band for the semester.

JazzFest Returns to Front Campus

On April 30th, JazzFest, with support from Allied Arts, returned to front campus with the GC Jazz Band, featuring guest artist trombonist Marshall Gilkes under the direction of Georgia College Double Bass Instructor Chris Enghauser. Putnam, Baldwin, and Luella High Schools performed and participated in clinics during the weekend. Pianist Tyrone Jackson (Kennesaw State University) hosted the late evening jam session in the Arts & Sciences Courtyard with assistance from the GC faculty (Chris Enghauser, Andrew Allen, and Don Parker) while students (high school and college), Gilkes, and community members listened and sat in to close out the evening festivities.

Coming September 17th: The 4th Annual Jazz at the Magnolia Fundraiser and GC Jazz Workshop--Look for information about participating and attending these events in the fall: Contact Don Parker at don.parker@gcsu.edu and Andrew J. Allen at andrew.allen@gcsu.edu.

The students in Music History II successfully completed their study and analysis of 19th- and 20th-century American songbooks, which included Girl Scout and Boy Scout song books, medical advertising songbooks, and government-issued songbooks distributed to U.S. soldiers during WWI and WWII. During the final weeks of class, each student gave a conference-style presentation and received feedback on their work. Four students, Laura Fennell, Nicki Dail, Jillian Truchan, and Sara Carr, participated in a panel titled Women’s Songbooks and Musical Culture c. 1918-1956 and gave their presentations at the Women’s and Gender Studies Symposium at Georgia College in April.

Music Education at Georgia College is thriving! Our first group of BA+MAT students graduated with BA degrees in May 2022 and are beginning MAT study this summer. Our graduate music education programs continue to grow in enrollment and quality. Our summer courses are once again at maximum capacity despite deferring several students to the fall term. Apply today to begin graduate study in Fall 2022. Certified teachers may apply to the Master of Music Education (MME) program; those seeking initial certification should apply for the MAT: music education degree program.

Michael Kobito, a Master of Music Education student, is the 2023 Georgia Teacher of the Year! Mr. Kobito is an AP Music Theory teacher and high school band director at Woodland High School in the Bartow County School System. As Director of Bands at Woodland High School, Kobito oversees and manages four concert bands, a 200-member marching band, a basketball pep band, a private lessons institute, jazz band, and winter guard. Under his direction, the marching band has been invited to march in the National Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington, D.C., and the London New Year's Day Parade in 2023.

From the first day students enter the band room, Kobito encourages them to strive for excellence, and to view every day as “an opportunity, not an obstacle, to reaching their potential."

The Georgia College Music Theatre Scenes Class presented a (live) performance titled “Women on Fire” on April 12th. Featured scenes from “The Spitfire Grill,” “Little Women,” “Mean Girls,” and “Six” offered portraits of complex, passionate, and engaging women—women on fire with career aspirations, a desire for social mobility, a need to have their voices heard, and of course a quest for love. Our cast of eighteen gave a brilliant performance to a packed Russell Auditorium. While the folks at Scenes love women-centered shows, we would love all male-identifying singers at Georgia College to come out and audition for the Spring 2023 show. Actually, if you are a man who cannot sing, dance, or act, but are open to learning how, please come audition. Look for the announcement in Frontpage this Fall.

The music therapy program had a very busy spring semester! Our practicum students traveled across middle Georgia to provide music therapy services to sites such as Carlyle Place, Life Enrichment Center, Fellowship Home at Meriweather, The Cottages, Benchmark Autism Services, and Hospice Home. In March, faculty and students traveled to the 2022 SER-AMTA regional conference in Lexington, KY. In addition to networking and learning about current music therapy practices around the region, students had the opportunity to explore Lexington in their free time.

April brought three major performances, which included the Creative Expressions Concert at the Life Enrichment Center, the Sound Creations Concert, and the Baldwin County School District Performance. The semester ended with the end-of-semester music therapy seminar where practicum students shared their clinical results and senior music therapy students presented Improvisation Methods in Action. In addition, several music therapy students were presented with awards. The Outstanding Undergraduate Music Therapy Major awards went to Emily Kirkland and Cassidy Weber and the Outstanding Graduate Music Therapy Student award went to Caroline Miller.

The music therapy graduate students had the opportunity to hear from alumna Jacqueline Sertell, MT-BC, and the music therapy profession in a behavioral health state hospital program. In addition, Laurie Peebles shared her experience advocating for the music therapy profession in Zhengzhou, China.

On February 10th, guest artist Dr. Joe W. Moore III (assistant professor of music at the University of Louisiana at Monroe) performed a percussion recital titled “Finding Meaning: The Percussion Music of Joe W. Moore III” in Max Noah Recital Hall. The concert featured Moore’s original music, which centered around a Black Lives Matter theme. He was joined by Chair and Professor of Music, Don Parker on on a timpani and snare duet entitled Geaux. The Georgia College Percussion Ensemble members Jacob Hammock, Sebastian Ponce, and Corrine O’ Donovan accompanied Moore on his percussion composition entitled Black Minerals.

Dr. Moore also served as the featured clinician for the GC Percussion Day on February 12th with additional clinics by Mia Eaton (part-time GC Percussion Instructor) on Snare Drum and Don Parker on Accessory Percussion Instruments. GC and local students participated in performances and workshops throughout the day.

The saxophone studio welcomed several guest artists this year, including Dr. Jordan VanHemert, director of jazz studies at Columbus State; Senior Airman Joseph Rulli of the United States Air Forces in Europe Band; Matt Hess of Saxocentric, Inc. saxophone repairs; Dr. Matthew Tracy of Southwestern Oklahoma State University; Dr. Sarah Hetrick of Texas A&M International University; and Dr. Perry Roth of Kent State University. These guests offered masterclasses and lectures to the students of the GC saxophone studio.

This past spring the GC Orchestra offered two robust programs, one on April 8 with the 2nd Terry Endowed Concert, playing Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and Vaughan-Williams’ Serenade to Music in conjunction with the GC band, chorus, and professional musicians from the area. The GC Orchestra also performed a program on March 31 featuring mostly baroque era music. This program also featured solos from a Bachelor of Arts senior and Music Precertification Minor, Alex Ragan, and concerto competition winner and Music Therapy junior, Jillian Truchan. Also featured was a student guest conductor, Jacob Hammock, a Bachelor of Arts junior and Music Precertification Minor.

Next semester, the GC Orchestra plans great collaborations with genre-busting professional group Warp Trio, performing their Black Voices program on November 15th, and voice area coordinator, Youngmi Kim, on October 25th.

The string area students at Georgia College are still teaching a violin class at the Early Learning Center in Milledgeville.

This year, violinist Nicholas Koebert, Bachelor of Arts junior and Music Precertification Minor, received Heritage Funds from the Provost to perform and study at the Boise Baroque Soloist and Conductor Workshop in Boise, Idaho. There he will solo with the professional Boise Baroque Orchestra. Bassist Lizzy Galloway, Bachelor of Arts sophomore and Music Precertification Minor, also received Heritage Funds from the Provost to study and perform at the Idaho Orchestra Institute held at Sawtooth Camp.

Bryan Hall, the string area coordinator, remains active in the area performing regularly with the North Carolina, Charlotte, and Charleston Symphonies. He presented a guest lecture for the Friends of the Symphony League of the Augusta Symphony Orchestra in March, and performed a chamber music series, with colleagues David Johnson and Hue Jang, at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. This summer he will also be teaching and coordinating the Boise Baroque Soloist/Conductor Workshop and the Idaho Orchestra Institute.

The voice area has kept in-person voice lessons and both in-person and virtual recitals. The Spring Voice Honors Recital was held on February 18th—eleven students performed beautifully, and the house was packed. Our guest artist, Dr. Tana Field (mezzo-soprano), gave a beautiful recital on March 21st with Owen Lovell and a masterclass on March 22nd. Congratulations to Bachelor of Arts seniors and Music Precertification Minors, Torri Harris, Madison Golden, and Kelley Monahan, who sang for the masterclass! We haven’t invited a mezzo-soprano in five years, so it was beneficial for our voice students to work with a mezzo-soprano. Four Bachelor of Arts seniors and Music Precertification Minors, Torri Harris, Megan Ostrat, Madison Golden, and Kelley Monahan, gave memorable recitals, which were live-streamed with the assistance of Jennifer Flory. And special thanks to our staff pianists, Lev Ryabinin and Hue Jang, for playing for our students.

The voice studio had an in-person studio party at the end of the semester for the first time in five years. We celebrated our success during the COVID time, enjoyed food, and gave a farewell to Jennifer Piazza-Pick, who taught at Georgia College for two years. She will be missed. We are excited to have more dynamic performances and events next year.

The GC Jazz Jam Sessions returned to Amici Cafe in Milledgeville this semester, featuring GC faculty, students, GC alum, and community players. There were four in total this spring hosted by the GC Jazz Faculty Quartet (Don Parker - vibes, Andrew Allen - saxophone, Mia Eaton - drums, and Chris Enghauser - bass). Macon jazz musician Wendell Harrelson (tenor sax) and Jennifer Piazza-Pick (soprano) were featured performers.

The Center for Music Education at Georgia College, under the direction of Tina Holmes-Davis, provided eight professional development workshops covering topics from choral pedagogy to interview skills and instrument repair in 2021-2022. Workshops were expertly crafted by local musicians, music teachers, and college faculty, and were well-attended. Spring workshops included “Meaningful Representation in Music Education” by Chantae Pittman (Adjunct Music Education instructor) and “Basic Instrument Repair” by Jim Schmelzer.

Andrew Allen made visits to Bleckley County High School, Houston County High School, Mount de Sales Academy, Warner Robins High School, Baldwin High School, Oak Hill Middle School, the Academy for Classical Education, and Jackson County High School this spring. Reach out if you’d like a sectional or clinic at your school! (andrew.allen@gcsu.edu)

Creative Expressions

Creative Expressions hosted its bi-annual concert on April 18th, featuring Georgia College’s music therapy students and performers with disAbilities from the Life Enrichment Center. This spring’s theme was Fired Up! , which featured songs with a “fire” theme, symbolizing the energy and resilience of the Creative Expressions performers. The concert, hosted at New City Church, featured performances from a bell choir, sign language group, rock band, dance ensemble, drumming group, and all men and all women ensembles. For more information about Creative Expressions, click here.

Music Therapy Clinic of Georgia College

The Music Therapy Clinic of Georgia College, in collaboration with the Baldwin County School System, hosted its first in-person performance since the pandemic started! On April 29th, approximately eighty K-12th grade students were featured in a morning concert of popular hits titled, “Exceptional! Songs that Shine.” The students assisted in choosing the performance pieces, which included classroom favorites such as “Fancy Like,” “Sunday Best,” and “Friend Like Me.” These students were engaged in active music-making while also working on non-musical outcomes such as social skills, motor coordination, self-expression, and communication skills. Each week, Caroline Miller, LPMT, MT-BC, led sessions spread across five schools in Baldwin County, where she worked on non-musical outcomes with students in the Programs for Exceptional Children. Further, music therapy students were often part of the sessions to experience engaged, hands-on learning, under the direct supervision of a professional music therapist. The mission of the MT Clinic is to provide engaged learning opportunities for music therapy students, while also providing access to music therapy services to those in Milledgeville and surrounding areas.

Michele Champion Sampson was named the Cobb County Elementary School General Music Teacher of the Year.

Where are you from?

I'm from Waycross, GA, in the very southeast corner of our state. You just about can't get any closer to the Florida border!

Why did you choose music as a major?

I’ve had many hobbies and things I loved doing growing up, but music was something that from the time I was a tiny little child, was a super meaningful and very significant part of my life. I've been told and reminded all the time of how I would conduct my family in a “choir” at the age of three or four! In high school, I had so many excellent opportunities to connect with music, and once I saw how enduring and powerful my love for music was, I couldn't see myself doing anything else. Everything I've learned in my time seriously studying music has just confirmed this to me, and I am very excited to continue sharing my love of music with others.

What attracted you to the music program at Georgia College and how long have you been here?

When I came to tour GCSU and meet the music faculty, I could tell how valuable the encouraging, challenging, and familial attitude of our department and the campus was, and this unique setting and group of people were clearly the right fit for me and the education I was seeking. In my three years at the school, there have been countless experiences that have validated my choice of Georgia College as the perfect school for me. It is exactly where I am supposed to be.

What has been one of your favorite musical experiences in your time here?

It is so hard to pinpoint a favorite memory of all the music I’ve participated in during college. Some of the highlights are getting to be part of my chamber music group, the Imposter Trio, participating in our Bobcat Keys piano outreach program, stellar concerts by our faculty and guest artists, and all the jam sessions with friends and the talented people that surround me. All these encounters, in various capacities, with different types of music and musicians, have been such an enriching part of my time here at GCSU.

What is your applied area and how have you progressed since you started lessons here?

I study piano in my applied area of our music department, and it has been an excellent opportunity to learn from Dr. Lovell and the experiences he’s been able to offer me to further my own personal musicianship and educational skills. The piano pedagogy principles and hands-on skills I learned through elective courses and through every lesson are things I will carry with me that will help me to feel confident and prepared for my continuing career as a pianist and teacher.

What are your plans for after you graduate?

The most definite constant in my next phase of life will be that I always want to teach private piano lessons, no matter where I end up. I would love to research and learn about adaptive music education as this is also a passion of mine from what I’ve gained through my creative arts therapy minor. I’ll be sticking around the Milledgeville area as a Wesley Worship coordinator for a little while, and my hope is to ultimately own and operate a music studio.

Where are you from?

I am from Waynesboro, GA, a small town halfway between Augusta and Statesboro.

What year did you graduate and what degree did you receive?
I graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of Music Education with an emphasis in Choral Music.

What have you been up to since your graduation from Georgia College?
I continued my studies at the University of South Dakota where I received a Master of Music in Vocal Performance in 2017. After that, I moved back to Milledgeville to teach at Georgia College as an Adjunct Professor of Voice for two years and then as a Lecturer of Voice and Aural Skills for one year. While in Milledgeville, I also worked for a couple of churches and was the director of the Milledgeville Singers Guild for one year. I recently finished my second year of doctoral studies at the University of Memphis, and I (hopefully) have one more year. I also finished my first year of teaching at Rhodes College as an Adjunct Professor of Voice. I was recently accepted to the Austrian-American Mozart Academy in Salzburg where I will perform the role of Count Almaviva in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and a Lieder recital, participate in masterclasses, and have coachings and lessons, as well as take German language classes.

What is your fondest memory from your time at Georgia College?
It’s hard to choose one! I was fortunate to have had incredible professors and a wonderful friend group that made my time at Georgia College memorable. I’d say the Max Noah Singers’ spring tour to New York was one of the highlights. Many laughs!

In what ways did your time at Georgia College prepare you to achieve your professional goals?
Truly, I do not believe I would be where I am without Georgia College. I felt supported by my professors, and it made me eager to absorb all the lessons they had to give. Georgia College gave me the opportunity to explore all areas of music: performing, teaching, and research. The education was so well-rounded that I feel I became a better musician and, subsequently, a better teacher for it. I am not sure I would have felt the same or had the same opportunities if I would have attended a different school. Having now attended other colleges, I see how I benefited from attending a small, liberal arts college.

What advice would you give to current music students?
Life is a journey that takes different paths for everyone. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. If you want to become a professional musician, then there is a place for you, and the way you get there can be as unique as you are. You will be told “no” a lot, but it only takes one “yes” to move forward. Side note: please study for theory and history. It will make life easier in the present and future!

Brass Ensemble from Commencement, December 2005

Why did you first give to Friends of Music?

We love Georgia College and want to see the music program grow, especially the orchestra. Also, our daughter Julie is a violist who was blessed with both scholarships and fellowships when earning her degrees. Remembering how much that meant to our family, we made donations at first to the GCSU music department and then established a music scholarship as a way of paying it forward.

What interests you most about the Department of Music?

Everything! We appreciate having such a variety of musical performances available throughout the year, and we attend as many as possible. The music faculty is impressive; we value the personal attention they give to music education and performance majors as well as to non-majors who just want music in their lives!

What do you tell others about our Department of Music?

We tell people that it’s the best music around, performed by incredibly talented young musicians. Then we invite them to attend a concert with us, and they become believers...works every time!

Why does this organization matter to you?

First, Sandra is a Class of 1962 (GSCW) English major who was fortunate enough to sing in Dr. Max Noah’s A Cappella Choir! Second, we believe the music department grows stronger and better every year, and we want to be part of that growth.

Friends of Music are alumni, members of the community, faculty, staff, and music lovers from all walks of life who generously support the Department of Music.
