The life and influence of Dr. Lynn Bielefelt
by Modica, Joseph Gerald, D.M.A., UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, 2010, 216 pages; 3434469

Abstract:

Dr. Lynn Bielefelt had a strong impact on her students. Throughout her thirteen-year career at California State University, Long Beach, and the University of Southern California, she had a tremendous affect on the people with whom she worked. Her legacy exists in the generation of educators now working in various levels of choral music programs around the United States who have studied under her and have chosen to emulate her teaching practices and style.

It is the purpose of this study to provide a biography of Dr. Bielefelt, revealing her legacy through highlighting her pedagogical approaches, rehearsal techniques, and vocal pedagogy. In addition, this study seeks to investigate her promotion of choral music education through professional service, her passion for bringing out individuality in her students, her nurturing manner that aided her students in reaching their full potential, and her uplifting and steadfast human spirit that surpassed her health issues.
