Victor L. Goines, clarinetist, saxophonist and educator, has been appointed Director of Jazz Studies and Professor of Music by Toni-Marie Montgomery, Dean of the Northwestern University School of Music. Goines will join Northwestern''s music faculty in spring 2008. Goines has an extensive background as a jazz educator and as a performer. For the past seven years he served as artistic director of the Jazz Studies Program at the Juilliard School in New York. He also actively tours with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and has collaborated with many of the leading artists in jazz and popular music.
"Our two-year search has resulted in the identification of the ideal candidate-an internationally recognized artist-pedagogue," said Dean Montgomery. Goines noted, "Northwestern University is the ideal place for jazz study. The University''s dedication to research, performance excellence and outstanding teaching are exactly the elements that produce outstanding jazz players."
Throughout his career, Goines has been deeply committed to the field of jazz education. In 2000 he was appointed the first artistic director of the Jazz Program at the Juilliard School and a faculty member in jazz clarinet and saxophone. During his seven-year tenure, the department expanded from a collaborative program with Jazz at Lincoln Center to include formal bachelor and master degree programs. He also has served on the faculties of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, University of New Orleans, Loyola University in New Orleans and Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans.
