Book SynopsisAbout our authors
Anne Hall earned B.M., M.M., and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Michigan and studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger for 3 years. After teaching at Mars Hill College in North Carolina and St. Olaf College in Minnesota, in 1976 she joined, as Director of Music Theory, the fledgling Faculty of Music at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, where she taught until her retirement in 1999. For her last 10 years there she served as Dean of the Faculty of Music.
Although she had also taught piano and music history, she focused her teaching on music theory, especially theory of twentieth-century music, and on musical skills, the importance of which had been emphasized in her study in Paris. For the B.Mus. program at Laurier, she developed 4-year programs in music theory and musical skills. For the latter she composed the first version of Studying Rhythm in the early 1980s.
She served as Co-Chair of Minnesota
