Dr. James (Andy) Goodman came to Boise State University in 2003 as music education
faculty and now also serves as the associate director of the Center for Teaching &
Learning. His Ed.D. in Music Education is from the University of
Illinois-Champaign/Urbana, and before coming to Boise State he taught at the University
of Louisiana at Monroe. With more than 25 years of K-8 teaching experience, Dr. Goodman
is an active clinician in music education, specifically in teacher preparation and the
Orff approach to classroom music, and he is the past-president of the Idaho chapter of
