Honors College Faculty/Staff

Bio

I have taught music theory and composition in the School of Music since 1990 and have offered seminars in the Honors College on topics ranging from Improvisational Comedy to Music, Power and Politics. WCU is a dynamic and creative environment; as a composer and an educator, I'm inspired by all the amazing colleagues and students I interact with on a daily basis, whether it be in the classroom or at ensemble concerts and recitals. I have always enjoyed coming to "work" because it has always felt like an advanced form of "play," which is to say that I feel lucky that my job is to spend my day doing things that I enjoy and care about deeply in a place where the students and my fellow teachers are similarly engaged and enthusiastic about their shared passions. My creative work includes composing music for concerts, dance and theater, often in a collaborative setting. For more information, visit my website: www.robertmaggio.com.
