Director of Choral Studies
Email Dr. Pittman
Dr. Chad Pittman is honored and excited to serve as the new Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music at Midwestern State University, where he will conduct the choirs and teach classes in musicianship, conducting, and music education.
Dr. Pittman recently earned the Doctor of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting at The University of Arizona, and holds a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from Michigan State University, a Master of Educational Administration from Cleveland State University, and a Bachelor of Music Education (specializing in choral music and organ performance) from the Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music.
Prior to joining the faculty at MSU, he held a similar position at Yavapai College (Arizona) and taught high school choral music in Ohio for nearly a decade, earning a reputation for excellence in performance and teaching. His former students have been accepted to schools of music and conservatories across the country. Dr. Pittman holds the record - twice - for the most ensembles invited to perform at a single music convention in Ohio - three in 2019 and four in 2021. His choirs also made an appearance at the Ohio Music Education Association convention in 2017 and the Ohio Choral Director's Association summer conference in 2015.
Dr. Pittman believes in the transformative power of music and works hard to facilitate a culture that is accepting, joyful, and rigorous. He can't wait to make music with the wonderful students and faculty/staff of Midwestern State University.
