Dr. Mary Goetze

Clinician, Middle School Chorus

Mary Goetze is a music educator committed to multiculturalism, teacher education and children’s singing. She challenges the profession to promote cultural understanding through the way diverse musics are presented and performed--an innovative approach she developed with the International Vocal Ensemble at Indiana University. Her initiative, for which she has been awarded numerous grants, resulted in an on-going series of DVDs and CD ROMs, entitled Global Voices, featuring native musical models presented in context with pronunciation, movements, translations and extensive cultural information. As a clinician, author and conductor, she has educated teachers about children’s voices, and through her synthesis of research, musical composition and teaching practice, she paved the way for the recent surge of children’s choirs across the country. She also served as a coordinating author of Share the Music and Spotlight on Music, series books for grades K-8. Mary is the co-author of Educating Young Voices. Dr. Goetze holds degrees from Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Indiana University, and the University of Colorado. Her dissertation entitled "Factors Affecting Accuracy in Children's Singing" was named Outstanding Dissertation of 1985 by Music Educators National Conference and Council for Research in Music Education. She was named Outstanding Hoosier Musician by the Indiana Music Educators Association and Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Organization of American Kodály Educators. She has received a Distinguished Teaching Award from Indiana University as well as a Distinguished Alumnus Awards from the University of Colorado College of Music and Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and awarded the R. L. Jones Distinguished Professorship at East Carolina University School of Music, Fall 2005.
