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.
