Adrienne
Wiley, is
currently associate professor of music at Central Michigan
University where she teaches and administers the piano pedagogy
program at the bachelors and master degree levels, and teaches
applied and class piano. Dr. Wiley received her bachelors and
masters degrees in piano performance from the University of Kansas,
and her doctor of musical arts in piano performance and pedagogy
from the University of Oklahoma. Because of Dr. Wiley’s dual focus
on performance and pedagogy, she has been active in both areas. She
maintains an active performance career as a soloist and
collaborative pianist. In addition, she has presented workshops
throughout the mid-west region on such topics as piano music for one
hand, motivational music, and intermediate piano literature, to name
a few. At the national level, she has been invited and presented
sessions for the National Piano Teachers Institute, Texas, and for
the Music Teachers National Association Conferences. Within the
states of Michigan and Nebraska, she has been a regular presenter
for local music teachers associations. Dr. Wiley is certified
through the Music Teachers National Association at the state and
national levels. She served MTNA as the National Senior Performance
Competitions Coordinator for four years, and is now currently the
Vice President of the Michigan Music Teachers Association. She has
also served on several select committees for MTNA, the Historical
Research Committee for the World Piano Pedagogy Conference, and for
the Michigan Music Teachers Association. In her spare time, Dr.
Wiley has authored several articles that have appeared in Keyboard
Companion and Clavier magazines. She has also reviewed a new book,
One-Handed: A Guide to Piano Music for One Hand, for the
Journal of the Music Library Association. After school hours, you
will find her teaching her private students, practicing both the
piano and the organ, researching and writing, and performing her
specialty: single-handed piano music. Her interest and love of
one-handed piano music has resulted in her first CD of teaching and
concert-level works for one hand. The multi-media CD is the first
of its kind, offering not only her performance of these works, but
articles as well. Dr. Wiley and her husband, Scott, enjoy the
company of their son, Cameron, who is an avid golfer.
