We have received recent news of the passing of Himie Voxman, Professor Emeritus of University of Iowa School of Music and graduate of Centerville High School.
Himie Voxman actually went to the University of Iowa to study science but found success as a clarinetist and composer of music education literature. Many Centerville students today still use lesson books written by Voxman (some of which were even written with a former band director of Centerville, William Gower). Himie Voxman is recognized as one of the most influential American music educators of the last century.
Voxman, who enjoyed a long career at the University of Iowa as a student then a full-time faculty member before achieving professor emeritus status, died Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011. He was 99.
Please do take a moment to check out the following articles to read more about Voxman's life and career.
