Jessica Rae Wiseman

Lecturer in Elementary General Music Education

Jessica Wiseman is an experienced music educator. She taught for 13 years in the Ohio public schools in areas such as choir, band, and general music. Her students earned many honors and superior ratings at competitions and were selected to perform at the Ohio Music Education Association’s Professional Development Conference. They also participated in service projects such as a fundraiser for the USO and Paws for Patriots, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and an annual Go Light Your World challenge. During this time, she also had significant involvement in school and community theater and music programs. Jessica left Ohio to serve as the music director at Ranger College in Texas. She is excited to be now working with future educators.

Jessica earned her bachelor’s degree at Kent State University, her master’s degree and Kodaly certification at Capital University, and her Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her dissertation focused on refugees’ perceptions of music participation and implications for the music education profession. Jessica is also passionate about exploring ways to meet the academically diverse needs often found in music classrooms.

Jessica has been an active member of NAFME and the Organization of American Kodaly Educators. She enjoys performing with her church’s worship team on piano, flute, voice, and bass guitar. When not teaching or making music, Jessica enjoys spending time with her Anatolian-Pyrenees, Nora Rose.
