Through examples at multiple levels, teachers gain concrete strategies for weaving Liszt into lessons so students can grow both technically and artistically, discovering music that is approachable and engaging for a wide range of abilities. Dr. Modolell specializes in nineteenth-century music with a focus on Franz Liszt. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and a Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis. His recent research examines Liszt’s connection to St. Francis of Assisi and the composer’s largely overlooked Franciscan-inspired works. His scholarship appears in the Journal of the American Liszt Society, and he has presented at regional and national conferences, including the American Musicological Society, the University of Miami Graduate Musicology Forum, and the Brandeis University Musicology Conference. In 2024 he was invited to speak at the University of Georgia for the American Liszt Society’s 60th anniversary, and he is slated to lecture again for the American Liszt Society at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
