Judy Bowers, Conductor
Judy Bowers is Professor of choral music education at Florida State University (FSU), where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in choral music and music education. She also conducts the Women’s Glee Club. Her research interests include leading partnerships, developmental choral groups, the adolescent voice change, and at-risk music students.

Bowers holds a PhD from Louisiana State University and a BME from Texas Tech University. From 1999-2000, she led the Capital Children’s Choir Program at FSU and more recently has developed a community service partnership with a downtown middle school. Since 2000, this collaboration has provided additional music ensembles for middle school students (a jazz band, steel drum ensembles, and a world music choir).
