After graduating cum laude from Yale University in 1978, Dr. Henry Jones was a free-lance vocal coach and accompanist in New York City for ten years, during which time his credits include choral performances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, vocal recitals at Lincoln Center, musical director of a gymnastic exhibition at Madison Square Garden, and Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, including Evita, Jerome Robbins' Broadway, and The Fantasticks. He received his D.M.A. in piano (1994) from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and has taught at several universities and performed internationally before coming to Southeastern. Dr. Jones was a winner of the L.S.U. Symphony Concerto Competition, and nominated several times for best musical director by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets. His new book, Beginning Jazz Piano for Classical Pianist, was published last summer.
