Dr. Anne Lyman Named Collegiate Music Educator of the Year

Dr. Anne Lyman, who teaches vocal music and conducts the choral ensembles at TCC, has been recognized as an outstanding educator by two different music organizations.

Lyman’s peers elected her President of the Northwest Region of the American Choral Directors Association. During her six-year term, which starts in July of 2026, she will be responsible for producing biennial conferences. She will also support more than 700 organizational members located in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska at the regional and national level.

The Washington Music Educators Association named Lyman Collegiate Educator of the Year. The bi-annual award will be bestowed at the annual WMEA conference in Yakima in February.

“I am extremely grateful for the ongoing support of music here at TCC,” Lyman said. “I feel very lucky to be at an institution that not only recognizes the importance of music education for our students and faculty, but also fosters a work environment that has allowed me to balance my work at TCC with service to the wider industry.”
