Before coming to Mansfield, she was a graduate assistant conductor to Donald Neuen at the Eastman School of Music, where she received a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Conducting. She also has a Master of Music Degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a Master of Music Degree in Music Education from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In addition, she has studied orchestral conducting and appeared in concert in the Czech Republic and at the Oregon Bach Festival. Dettwiler has chosen to seek degrees in these areas of music because she believes that the choral conductor must be an educator as well as a performer and must have a thorough knowledge of vocal pedagogy. Her articles, “Developing Aural Skills through Choral Warm-ups”
and “Grading the- Choral Ensemble .... No More Excuses,” were printed in the October 1989 and April 1995 issues of the Choral Journal pub- lished by the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA). She has developed two pedagogical DVDS entitled, “Developing a Choral Color Palette” and “Sing in Style.” Dettwiler received the 2010 Elaine Brown Award for Choral Excellence from the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Amer- ican Choral Directors Association and was awarded 2” place both in 2011 and 2013 for The American Prize for Choral Conductors. Dettwiler is past president of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the
rector of Choral Activities at Mansfield University in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, where she conducts the concert choir, festival chorus, and chamber sing- ers, and teaches choral conducting and methods.
Peggy Dettwiler is Professor of Music and Di-
ACDA and is currently the Pennsylvania representative on the Board of Directors for the National Collegiate Choral Organization. The Mans- field University ACDA Student Chapter, which she advises, was recog- nized as the Outstanding Student Chapter in the nation in 1997 and 2001 by the American Choral Directors Association, and the Mansfield University Concert Choir has been invited each of the last twenty years to perform at state, regional, national, or international choral conventions. In 2008, the Concert Choir Won the World Championship in the Gospel & Spiritual Category at the World Choir Games in Graz, Austria.
