Richard Scheffel Rich Scheffel was the 5-12 instrumental (and occasionally general) music teacher at West Central Community School in Maynard for 39 years (1973-2012). He received the Phillip Sehmann award for excellence in teaching from the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters in 2009. He is a senior lecturer in low brass and music education at Wartburg College. This is his second tour of duty as an adjunct instructor at Wartburg, as he taught tuba and euphonium at Wartburg from 1974-1993, took 18 years off, and started again in 2011. Besides teaching low brass, Scheffel also teaches flute, clarinet, and saxophone methods; directs Wartubium (Wartburg’s Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble), and plays in the faculty brass quintet. After growing up in a western suburb of Chicago (West Chicago), Scheffel earned his Bachelor of Music Education degree at Northwestern University and his master’s in music education from UNI. He has played tuba in the Waterloo Municipal Band since 1994 and now also enjoys playing in the UNI New Horizons Band. He also plays tuba in the Wartburg Community Symphony, has subbed with the Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony, and played trombone with the Tuxedo Junction Big Band. Scheffel is an active adjudicator with the Iowa High School Music Association and the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters. Since his retirement, he’s been involved with mentoring first- and second-year band directors through the Iowa Bandmasters Association and acting as a clinician for area bands. In addition to his band commitments, Scheffel is a member of the Maynard City Council, the St. Paul Lutheran Church Choir, and directs the bell choir there as well. He and his wife, Linnae (a science teacher at Northeast Iowa Community College), reside in Maynard. They have a son, Robert, who is a graduate of the University of Iowa and just returned from Chile, where he taught English for a year.

Dr. Craig A. Hancock Dr. Craig A. Hancock is in his 22nd year as director of bands at Wartburg College. Prior positions include Wayne State College (Wayne, Neb.), Graceland College (Lamoni), and Simpson College (Indianola). Hancock earned Bachelor of Music degrees in music education and trombone performance at Simpson, graduating magna cum laude. He earned a master’s degree in trombone performance (studying with John Hill) and Doctor of Musical Arts degree in band conducting (studying with Myron Welch) at the University of Iowa. At Wartburg, besides administering and conducting the college’s top concert band (the Wind Ensemble), Hancock oversees the pep band and the second jazz band; teaches trombone, euphonium, and tuba lessons, advanced conducting class, marching band, and instrument repair techniques; and serves as the college instrument repair technician. With Hancock’s leadership, the Wartburg College Concert Bands program sponsors the annual Meistersinger Honor Band Festival in early February and Band Camp at Wartburg each summer.

Under Hancock’s direction, the Wartburg College Wind Ensemble has traveled the globe, from Carnegie Hall to London, Munich, Prague, Tokyo, Beijing, and many points in between. As a trombonist, he has performed with the Des Moines Symphony, the Des Moines Metro Opera Company, the Graceland College Community Orchestra, the Northeast Nebraska Sinfonia, the Wartburg Community Symphony, and until recently, when he accepted the position as conductor of the Greater Waverly Area Municipal Band, was principal trombone each summer for 21 years in the Waterloo Municipal Band. In addition to his conducting and teaching, he is active as a clinician, adjudicator, festival conductor, and low brass performer. A past board member of the Iowa Bandmasters Association, Hancock in 2000 received the Wartburg Student Senate Award for Teaching Excellence. He is listed in the 2005 edition of Who’s Who Among American Teachers. He holds membership in Iowa Bandmasters Association, College Band Directors National Association, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity, and the American Association of University Professors. Hancock also has served as president of the Waterloo Municipal Band Board and in leadership with the Waverly Lions Club. Hancock has served as a Boy Scout leader in each of the communities in which he has resided, and as a licensed minister, serves his local church as associate pastor. Hancock and his wife of 29 years, Elizabeth, have a blended family of boys, ages 38, 36, 32, 22, and 20.

Cliff St. Clair Cliff St. Clair grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis before earning a bachelor’s degree in music education from Bethel University. After teaching four years in the Minneapolis suburbs, he was hired in Sherburn, Minn., where he directed the 5-12 band program. Sherburn, Trimont, and Welcome schools combined to form Martin County West, where he completed a total of 20 years of teaching in Minnesota. During that time, he earned a master’s degree in music education from the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign. A Martin County West family who moved to Sheldon, recommended him for his present position in 2001. St. Clair is the band director at Sheldon High School, where his responsibilities include directing the concert, marching, pep, and jazz bands, teaching music appreciation/guitar, and some lessons at Sheldon Middle School. In 2003, legendary conductor Weston Noble, of Luther College, conducted the Sheldon band and choir and encouraged them to participate in the Large Group Festival. Since then, the band has received Division I ratings in 2005 and from 2007 to 2016. In 2009, the band earned the Division 1 (Small School Class) Concert Band 1st Place Gold Award at the Cotton Bowl Classic in Dallas and the Parade Grand Champion, as well as other caption awards. The band has earned 1st Place in Class awards at the Pursuit of Excellence in Marshall, Minn., the Dutchmen Field Championships in Orange City, as well as Division I ratings at the IHSMA Marching Band Festival since 2002. The Marching Orabs are the only Class 2A band to earn the John A. Aboud Sweepstakes Award at Algona Band Day in Algona, having received it five times since 2009. The Sheldon High School Concert Band was selected as the 2016 Class 2A Honor Band for

5

the Iowa Bandmasters Association Conference. St. Clair has been included in the Premier Who’s Who since 2010, and the Northwest Iowa Bandmasters Association selected him for the Martin L. Crandell Award in 2014 and the Karl King (Active) Award in 2016. St. Clair and his wife, Shairi, have been married 35 years and have five children. He is also a U.S. Soccer Grade 8 referee and has been a referee and volunteer soccer coach since 1994. His other nonmusical interests include running, cycling, ice skating, and home improvement projects.

Scott Hagen

Scott Hagen has established himself as one of Utah’s most sought after music educators and clinicians, bringing with him to his position nearly 30 years experience. He serves as the director of bands at the University of Utah School of Music, teaching both undergraduate and graduate conducting, as well as conducting the University of Utah Wind Ensemble. Under his direction, the University of Utah Wind Ensemble and other performing groups have performed at the National MENC Conference, Western Region College Band Director’s Conference, as well as performing internationally in Japan and Europe. Hagen maintains an active schedule as a guest conductor and clinician for many local high schools as well as numerous ensembles throughout the United States. Performances under the direction of Hagen have won the praise of notable musicians such as Tony DiLorenzo, Jeff Nelson, Adam Frey, Mark Inouye, David Maslanka, and Gene Pokorny. His ensembles are known for their unique timbre, blending each individual instrument to create a warm, rich sonority. When programming repertoire, Hagen brings a fresh approach to works from the past, and continues to strive in exploring works of the present. Hagen earned a bachelor’s degree from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., as well as a master’s degree in music education from the University of Minnesota. In 1995 the Associated Students of the University of Utah named him “Teacher of the Year.” He was the conductor of the official Utah Olympic Spirit Band for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and for the 2003-04 school year, Hagen was the recipient of the Student’s Choice Teaching Award in the College of Fine Arts. Hagen was named music director and conductor of The Utah Wind Symphony, a newly established professional wind ensemble in Salt Lake City. His professional affiliations include College Band Directors National Association, Music Educators National Conference, Utah Music Educators Association, and he is an honorary member of Tau Beta Sigma Music Sorority.

Music as a Major• The Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major enables students to combine

music with a minor or a second major in another field. The church music concentration combines courses in music and religion to prepare students for leading music programs in churches and in many types of Christian outreach.

• The Bachelor of Music degree prepares students for further study leading to professional performance, studio teaching, or careers in church music.

• The Bachelor of Music Education degree prepares students to teach music in grades K-12 through methods courses, field experiences, and student teaching. The Bachelor of Music Education degree can be combined with a music therapy major to prepare students to use music in helping children with special needs.

• The Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree does not include the K-12 music certification, but it meets the requirements for certification as a registered music therapist (RMT) through the National Association for Music Therapy. Wartburg is the only private college in Iowa to offer a major in music therapy.

Music Enriches Campus LifeWartburg provides a variety of musical activities geared toward individual interests, talents, and schedules. Instrumental organizations include the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, the Wartburg Community Symphony, Kammerstreicher, Knightliters Jazz Band, Ninth Street Jazz Band, Pep Band, and several smaller ensembles. Choral ensembles include the Wartburg Choir, which places special emphasis on sacred choral music; the Castle Singers, a chamber ensemble; St. Elizabeth Chorale, a women’s choir; Ritterchor, a men’s choir; Kantorei, which provides music for campus worship; and several small vocal groups. The Wartburg Wind Ensemble, Wartburg Choir, and Castle Singers schedule annual concert tours within the United States and travel abroad every three years during the college’s one-month May Term.

An Outstanding FacilityMusic groups rehearse in the Bachman Fine Arts Center, which provides spacious rehearsal/recital halls for band, choir, and orchestra. A 20-station electronic music laboratory is equipped with synthesizers, sequencers, computers, and software for music theory, composition, and ear training. The Bachman Fine Arts Center is furnished with grand and upright pianos, and students have access to five organs.
