Richard Scheffel Rich Scheffel was the 5-12 instrumental (and
occasionally general) music teacher at West Central Community
School in Maynard for 39 years (1973-2012). He received the Phillip
Sehmann award for excellence in teaching from the Northeast Iowa
Bandmasters in 2009. He is a senior lecturer in low brass and music
education at Wartburg College. This is his second tour of duty as
an adjunct instructor at Wartburg, as he taught tuba and euphonium
at Wartburg from 1974-1993, took 18 years off, and started again in
2011. Besides teaching low brass, Scheffel also teaches flute,
clarinet, and saxophone methods; directs Wartubium (Wartburg’s Tuba
and Euphonium Ensemble), and plays in the faculty brass quintet.
After growing up in a western suburb of Chicago (West Chicago),
Scheffel earned his Bachelor of Music Education degree at
Northwestern University and his master’s in music education from
UNI. He has played tuba in the Waterloo Municipal Band since 1994
and now also enjoys playing in the UNI New Horizons Band. He also
plays tuba in the Wartburg Community Symphony, has subbed with the
Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony, and played trombone with the Tuxedo
Junction Big Band. Scheffel is an active adjudicator with the Iowa
High School Music Association and the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters.
Since his retirement, he’s been involved with mentoring first- and
second-year band directors through the Iowa Bandmasters Association
and acting as a clinician for area bands. In addition to his band
commitments, Scheffel is a member of the Maynard City Council, the
St. Paul Lutheran Church Choir, and directs the bell choir there as
well. He and his wife, Linnae (a science teacher at Northeast Iowa
Community College), reside in Maynard. They have a son, Robert, who
is a graduate of the University of Iowa and just returned from
Chile, where he taught English for a year.
Dr. Craig A. Hancock Dr. Craig A. Hancock is in his 22nd year as
director of bands at Wartburg College. Prior positions include
Wayne State College (Wayne, Neb.), Graceland College (Lamoni), and
Simpson College (Indianola). Hancock earned Bachelor of Music
degrees in music education and trombone performance at Simpson,
graduating magna cum laude. He earned a master’s degree in trombone
performance (studying with John Hill) and Doctor of Musical Arts
degree in band conducting (studying with Myron Welch) at the
University of Iowa. At Wartburg, besides administering and
conducting the college’s top concert band (the Wind Ensemble),
Hancock oversees the pep band and the second jazz band; teaches
trombone, euphonium, and tuba lessons, advanced conducting class,
marching band, and instrument repair techniques; and serves as the
college instrument repair technician. With Hancock’s leadership,
the Wartburg College Concert Bands program sponsors the annual
Meistersinger Honor Band Festival in early February and Band Camp
at Wartburg each summer.

Under Hancock’s direction, the Wartburg College Wind Ensemble
has traveled the globe, from Carnegie Hall to London, Munich,
Prague, Tokyo, Beijing, and many points in between. As a
trombonist, he has performed with the Des Moines Symphony, the Des
Moines Metro Opera Company, the Graceland College Community
Orchestra, the Northeast Nebraska Sinfonia, the Wartburg Community
Symphony, and until recently, when he accepted the position as
conductor of the Greater Waverly Area Municipal Band, was principal
trombone each summer for 21 years in the Waterloo Municipal Band.
In addition to his conducting and teaching, he is active as a
clinician, adjudicator, festival conductor, and low brass
performer. A past board member of the Iowa Bandmasters Association,
Hancock in 2000 received the Wartburg Student Senate Award for
Teaching Excellence. He is listed in the 2005 edition of Who’s Who
Among American Teachers. He holds membership in Iowa Bandmasters
Association, College Band Directors National Association, Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity, and the American Association of
University Professors. Hancock also has served as president of the
Waterloo Municipal Band Board and in leadership with the Waverly
Lions Club. Hancock has served as a Boy Scout leader in each of the
communities in which he has resided, and as a licensed minister,
serves his local church as associate pastor. Hancock and his wife
of 29 years, Elizabeth, have a blended family of boys, ages 38, 36,
32, 22, and 20.
Cliff St. Clair Cliff St. Clair grew up in the suburbs of
Minneapolis before earning a bachelor’s degree in music education
from Bethel University. After teaching four years in the
Minneapolis suburbs, he was hired in Sherburn, Minn., where he
directed the 5-12 band program. Sherburn, Trimont, and Welcome
schools combined to form Martin County West, where he completed a
total of 20 years of teaching in Minnesota. During that time, he
earned a master’s degree in music education from the University of
Illinois Urbana/Champaign. A Martin County West family who moved to
Sheldon, recommended him for his present position in 2001. St.
Clair is the band director at Sheldon High School, where his
responsibilities include directing the concert, marching, pep, and
jazz bands, teaching music appreciation/guitar, and some lessons at
Sheldon Middle School. In 2003, legendary conductor Weston Noble,
of Luther College, conducted the Sheldon band and choir and
encouraged them to participate in the Large Group Festival. Since
then, the band has received Division I ratings in 2005 and from
2007 to 2016. In 2009, the band earned the Division 1 (Small School
Class) Concert Band 1st Place Gold Award at the Cotton Bowl Classic
in Dallas and the Parade Grand Champion, as well as other caption
awards. The band has earned 1st Place in Class awards at the
Pursuit of Excellence in Marshall, Minn., the Dutchmen Field
Championships in Orange City, as well as Division I ratings at the
IHSMA Marching Band Festival since 2002. The Marching Orabs are the
only Class 2A band to earn the John A. Aboud Sweepstakes Award at
Algona Band Day in Algona, having received it five times since
2009. The Sheldon High School Concert Band was selected as the 2016
Class 2A Honor Band for
-

the Iowa Bandmasters Association Conference. St. Clair has been
included in the Premier Who’s Who since 2010, and the Northwest
Iowa Bandmasters Association selected him for the Martin L.
Crandell Award in 2014 and the Karl King (Active) Award in 2016.
St. Clair and his wife, Shairi, have been married 35 years and have
five children. He is also a U.S. Soccer Grade 8 referee and has
been a referee and volunteer soccer coach since 1994. His other
nonmusical interests include running, cycling, ice skating, and
home improvement projects.
Scott Hagen Scott Hagen has established himself as one of Utah’s
most sought after music educators and clinicians, bringing with him
to his position nearly 30 years experience. He serves as the
director of bands at the University of Utah School of Music,
teaching both undergraduate and graduate conducting, as well as
conducting the University of Utah Wind Ensemble. Under his
direction, the University of Utah Wind Ensemble and other
performing groups have performed at the National MENC Conference,
Western Region College Band Director’s Conference, as well as
performing internationally in Japan and Europe. Hagen maintains an
active schedule as a guest conductor and clinician for many local
high schools as well as numerous ensembles throughout the United
States. Performances under the direction of Hagen have won the
praise of notable musicians such as Tony DiLorenzo, Jeff Nelson,
Adam Frey, Mark Inouye, David Maslanka, and Gene Pokorny. His
ensembles are known for their unique timbre, blending each
individual instrument to create a warm, rich sonority. When
programming repertoire, Hagen brings a fresh approach to works from
the past, and continues to strive in exploring works of the
present. Hagen earned a bachelor’s degree from Concordia College in
Moorhead, Minn., as well as a master’s degree in music education
from the University of Minnesota. In 1995 the Associated Students
of the University of Utah named him “Teacher of the Year.” He was
the conductor of the official Utah Olympic Spirit Band for the 2002
Winter Olympic Games, and for the 2003-04 school year, Hagen was
the recipient of the Student’s Choice Teaching Award in the College
of Fine Arts. Hagen was named music director and conductor of The
Utah Wind Symphony, a newly established professional wind ensemble
in Salt Lake City. His professional affiliations include College
Band Directors National Association, Music Educators National

Music as a Major• The Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major
enables students to combine
music with a minor or a second major in another field. The
church music concentration combines courses in music and religion
to prepare students for leading music programs in churches and in
many types of Christian outreach.
• The Bachelor of Music degree prepares students for further
study leading to professional performance, studio teaching, or
careers in church music.
• The Bachelor of Music Education degree prepares students to
teach music in grades K-12 through methods courses, field
experiences, and student teaching. The Bachelor of Music Education
degree can be combined with a music therapy major to prepare
students to use music in helping children with special needs.
• The Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree does not include
the K-12 music certification, but it meets the requirements for
certification as a registered music therapist (RMT) through the
National Association for Music Therapy. Wartburg is the only
private college in Iowa to offer a major in music therapy.
Music Enriches Campus LifeWartburg provides a variety of musical
activities geared toward individual interests, talents, and
schedules. Instrumental organizations include the Wind Ensemble,
Symphonic Band, the Wartburg Community Symphony, Kammerstreicher,
Knightliters Jazz Band, Ninth Street Jazz Band, Pep Band, and
several smaller ensembles. Choral ensembles include the Wartburg
Choir, which places special emphasis on sacred choral music; the
Castle Singers, a chamber ensemble; St. Elizabeth Chorale, a
women’s choir; Ritterchor, a men’s choir; Kantorei, which provides
music for campus worship; and several small vocal groups. The
Wartburg Wind Ensemble, Wartburg Choir, and Castle Singers schedule
annual concert tours within the United States and travel abroad
every three years during the college’s one-month May Term.
An Outstanding FacilityMusic groups rehearse in the Bachman Fine
Arts Center, which provides spacious rehearsal/recital halls for
band, choir, and orchestra. A 20-station electronic music
laboratory is equipped with synthesizers, sequencers, computers,
and software for music theory, composition, and ear training. The
Bachman Fine Arts Center is furnished with grand and upright
pianos, and students have access to five organs.
