Feb 9, 2010 Alumni/Emeriti, Theory/History
Professor Emeritus Frederic Homan, known to many of our alumni for his work in the music theory classroom, has died. Professor Homan taught at UCM from 1962 (when it was named Central Missouri State College) until his retirement in 2000. In his thirty-eight years teaching music theory and organ at UCM, he guided hundreds of our music alumni to deeper understanding of the workings of music. He is remembered by many for his dry sense of humor, kindness to students, and the daily grace with which he approached his work.
The digitalBurg website published an extensive obituary of Dr. Homan.
