Dr. Karen Koner is assistant professor and coordinator of music education at San Diego State University. She holds a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction in Music Education from the University of Maryland, and a Master of Music Theory and Bachelors of Music Education from the University of Arizona. Prior to joining the faculty at SDSU, Dr. Koner served as coordinator of music education at Northern Kentucky University and California State University Stanislaus, as well as taught instrumental music at the high school level in Arizona for eight years.
Her research interests encompass numerous topics related to music teacher education, with a particular interest in current practices, trends, and needs of K-12 music educators. Look for her outstanding article about stress management during the pandemic recently featured in the winter CMEA magazine!
Since her arrival in San Diego, Dr. Koner has immersed herself in the school culture of her own campus as well as reaching out the the broader music community. Nominated by Amy Villanova, band director at Canyon Crest Academy, Dr. Koner “...has encouraged her growing number of future music educators to become involved in a diverse array of school experiences across the county, including involvement in their CMEA chapter. They are learning important networking skills along with their music education curriculum."
We are lucky to have such a kind, professional, committed, and lively educator in our section. Congratulations Karen!!!
