Wendy Somerville Chronicle Staff In about a year‘s time, you will probably find Dr. Gordon Green in some European library, his head buried in some ancient book, and his mind on the life of an oldâ€" world musician. That is a big part of what the Wilfrid Laurier University dean of music has in store for his oneâ€" year sabbatical away from the university when he hands over the reins of the department to Dr. Ann Hall this summer. After a second fiveâ€"year term, Green plans to research the lives of medieval musicians and catch up on his specialty â€" medieval music history â€" before teaching the subject to students next term. Green took over as Laurier‘ dean of music in 1979, a year after coming to the school from University of Western Ontario where he served as chairman of the music history department for 12 years. Before Western, Green ran choral workshops and music appreciation classes, and was involved in administration for the University of Alberta music deâ€" partment, for 12 years. Green‘s 10 years as dean have seen massive changes to the university‘s music department. The _ department‘s biggest achievement, Green said, is that it has "claimed a place in the whole Canadian spectrum where it is one of five or six of the best undergraduate programs in all of Canada. partment, for 12 years.

Gordon Greene PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS â€" CAROLINE STREET, WILLIAM STREET, PARK STREET It‘s back to the classroom for \Dr. Gordon Greene 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Alexandra Public School Tuesday, May 30, 1989 THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF WATERLOO know," Green laughed. He might see the school‘s unâ€" dergraduate music program as a big achievement, but to the outâ€" sider, the school‘s huge new John Aird Centre,which stands at the University _ Avenue â€" entrance, might qualify as pretty impressâ€" ive. It took eight years, from the initial decision to build to the construction, for the $10â€"million structure to be completed. When Laurier president Dr. Neil Taylor approached each of the school‘s departments to deterâ€" mine what they needed the most, Green quickly responded with "a recital hall." Speculative cost of the hall at the time was $1.5 million. Green then convinced administration to split the project into three phases; a recital hall, teaching studios and classrooms. The final $10â€"million price tag included $4 million for the recital hall which sits as a huge acoustiâ€" cally perfect room within the entire centre. Green modestly credits people like his executive assistant Anna Bier for providing invaluable assistance in the deâ€" velopment of the project. Regional Municipality of Waterioo Ken Seiling, Chairman he said. "You need a certain number of students for things like chamber music, a jazz ensemble, a choir. . ." Calling his administration colâ€" legial, Green said the 17â€"member faculty meets regularly as a full committee and makes decisions jointly. This committee meets every spring for a threeâ€"day reâ€" treat where members review the year and determine if the departâ€" ment is accomplishing its goals. ‘"We have projections for the next five, 10, 15 years." He pointed to larger music departments like Western‘s who often find it difficult to reach a common ground because of the size of the faculty. Larger enrollâ€" ments can cause a communicaâ€" tion problem too, he said. "(At these retreats) we come with a common understanding we are all heading in the right direction. ‘"Western was too big. The idea of wearing a neck mike in front of 220 freshmen in a huge hall didn‘t appeal to me. I couldn‘t meet with each student individuâ€" ally." Laurier offers more master clasâ€" ses â€" something unique in Canaâ€" da â€" and more lesson time. It was Green‘s decision to limit enrollâ€" ment that resulted in the major performance program. Green says he looking forward to heading into another stage in his career. "I find the classroom more personally rewarding than admiâ€" nistration work." (/ .
