Jill Wilson, assistant professor of music at Morningside College, had a paper selected for presentation at two summer seminars in Greece.

Her paper, “Informal Learning in the Collegiate Music Classroom,” was selected for presentation at the 18th International Music in the Schools & Teacher Education Commission Seminar, which will take place July 9-13 in Komotini, Greece, and for poster presentation at the 30th International Society for Music Education World Conference, which will take place July 15-20 in Thessaloniki, Greece. 

Wilson has experience teaching music at all levels. At Morningside, she teaches music education and ear training courses and directs the Bel Canto Women’s Choir, which traveled to West Des Moines, Iowa, to perform at the Collegiate Women’s Choir Festival on Feb. 26.

This is Wilson’s fourth year on the faculty at Morningside College. She previously was an adjunct faculty member at Morningside and the director of the Leo Kucinski Academy of Music. She has a doctorate in music education from Boston University in Massachusetts.
