2024 Conductor - Dr. Liz Jackson Kirchoff
Dr. Elizabeth Jackson Kirchhoff has been active as an instrumental music educator,
conductor, and clinician in the United States, Norway, and Canada for over 35 years.
She has enjoyed teaching and collaborating with music makers from beginners at the
elementary level to highly talented instrumentalists at the university level. Jackson
completed a B.A. in Music Education at St. Olaf College, an M.M. in Conducting at
Northwestern University, and a Ph.D. in Music Education at The Ohio State University.
She began teaching at Eden Prairie High School in 1998 where she conducted the Wind Ensemble and founded the EPHS Chamber Winds. She also started the Band Buddies program, which encouraged high school band members to mentor younger musicians in the district. After her retirement in the spring of 2022, Jackson taught 5th Grade Band
as a long term substitute in three of Eden Prairie’s elementary schools. In addition to her experience at Eden Prairie, Jackson has taught music in Wrenshall, Spring Lake Park, Hopkins, and the University of Minnesota.

Dr. Jackson has enjoyed working with a wide variety of honor bands, including the Arkansas All-State Symphonic Band, the Alabama Middle School All-State Band, the Colorado All-State Concert Band, and the North Dakota Junior High All-State Band. She has served on the Minnesota Music Educators Association (MMEA) Board of Directors and as the editor of Minnesota’s professional journal of music education. She
is a past-president of the Minnesota Band Directors Association and was named the 2010 MMEA Educator of the Year.
