School of Performing Arts welcomes new assistant professor of music
The School of Performing Arts has announced Webb Parker will begin teaching as an assistant professor of music fall 2018.
Parker will teach courses in music education and voice and will lead the Collegiate Chorale.
Prior to his UMaine appointment, Parker was an assistant professor of music education at the University of Southern Mississippi. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon where he received a Ph.D. in choral music education with an emphasis in choral conducting.
Parker’s research interests center around issues of social justice within music education and his research has been presented at state and national music conferences. Other research interests include best practices in choral rehearsal pedagogy, specifically the use of imagery and motion as pedagogic tools used to make the voice more tactile.
