About Dr. Kauffman:
Having devoted nearly his entire adult life to Christian higher education, Dr. Kauffman served on the faculties of three Christian colleges before joining the Department of Music at BBC in 1986. Although piano performance was his first love, the rigors of his doctoral degree and the demands and opportunities of teaching in small colleges have allowed him to move freely among several musical disciplines: music theory, music history, choral methods and directing, and piano pedagogy. A student of theology, history and philosophy, Dr. Kauffman takes great delight in helping his students connect their musical interests with all of life.
