A
native of Lubbock, Jane Ann Wilson received her Bachelor of Music
Education degree from Texas Tech University with piano and violoncello
as principal instruments. She received the Master of Music in piano
performance with distinction and the Doctor of Music in piano pedagogy,
performance, and literature with high distinction from Indiana
University. A recipient of a Shell Foundation Faculty Development grant
to attend the Janácek Festival in Brno, Czechoslovakia, she wrote her
doctoral document on The Piano Works of Leos Janáček. Her review
of a new book on Janáček appears in the February/March 2004 issue of the
American Music Teacher. Her piano teachers have included Abbey
Simon, Alfonso Montecino, Jorge Bolet, Sydney Foster, and Thomas
Mastroianni. Performances of chamber music and solo recitals have taken
the pianist to many places in the U.S., to England, and to South
America. She is also active as an adjudicator and clinician and recently
was on the jury of the 2005 Midland-Odessa Symphony National Young
Artists Competition.
Wilson has taught at Iowa State University
and The Catholic University of America, and is now Associate Professor
of Music at Texas Tech University where she teaches piano and piano
pedagogy, coordinates accompanying, and is chair of the keyboard area.
She is a founding member of the Devienne Trio, a flute, bassoon, and
piano trio that has commissioned many new works and is performing
widely. Wilson also performs piano and organ duos with her husband,
organist Roy Wilson.
With Thomas Hughes, Wilson has developed a
significant data base of pedagogical piano repertoire that is now on the
Web available for use by all piano teachers. The database was presented
to the public by Hughes and Wilson at the TMTA Convention in June 2004.
Active as a cellist as well, she performs with area orchestras and with
chamber groups. She has been a member of the executive council of the
Iowa Music Teachers Association and the Keyboard Committee of the Texas
Music Educators Association.
