David Gillingham

David Gillingham
Music composition professor

His background: Gillingham has taught at CMU since 1984, and he has won the ASCAP Standard Award for Composers of Concert Music for the last 10 years.

Why it matters: Like most CMU professors, Gillingham loves to share his enthusiasm for his field with his students.

Why CMU: "By coming here and wanting to study with a particular faculty member, that's who they're going to study with. They're not going to be learning from graduate assistants."

Gillingham is a 10-time winner of the ASCAP Standard Award for Composers of Concert Music.
