Fall 2021 has big things in store for the School of Music! In addition to the unveiling of our brand new recording studio, we are also introducing three new faculty members into our Lee family! Please help us give a warm welcome to Dr. Reichenbach, Dr. Weatherford, and Dr. Wei, and stay tuned for even more developments within the School of Music.

Dr. Brian Reichenbach will join the Lee University School of Music faculty this fall as Assistant Professor of Trumpet. Dr. Reichenbach completed his doctorate in trumpet performance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and comes to us after a very successful career at Trinity International University.  In addition to his work in the trumpet studio, Dr. Reichenbach will also teach in our music theory curriculum.

The Lee University School of Music is happy to announce the appointment of Dr. Cameron Weatherford as Assistant Professor of Choral Music for the coming school year.  Dr. Weatherford completed his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Kentucky and comes to us from Louisiana College.  He will conduct Choral Union, Men’s Choir, as well as teach undergraduate and graduate courses in conducting.

The Lee University School of Music will welcome Dr. Muen Wei this fall as Assistant Professor of Piano. Dr. Wei completed the DMA in piano performance and an Artist Diploma at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  She has most recently served as guest faculty at  China West Normal University.  We look forward to Dr. Wei’s contribution to our exceptional piano area.
