Timeline
Dr. Charles R. Hoffer (December 12, 1929 – May 3, 2017) was an American music educator.
Hoffer was born in East Lansing, Michigan in 1929.
His father was a sociology professor at Michigan State University and his mother became a stay-at-home mother after a year of nursing.
He grew up playing the piano then switched to clarinet, which he continued to play in both high school and college.
He completed his bachelor's degree in Music Education at Michigan State University.
Dr. Hoffer completed his master's degree in Clarinet Performance at the Eastman School of Music, then his PhD from Michigan State University.
After completing his degree, Dr. Hoffer taught public school in Michigan, New York, and Missouri.
After 14 years of teaching, he accepted a position on the faculty at Indiana University at Bloomington (1966).
In 1984 he joined the University of Florida, where he became head of the music education area.
Dr. Hoffer was often hired to teach summer sessions at institutions such as the Peabody Conservatory and University of Michigan.
Hoffer admitted to first focusing on ratings at competitions, but after the tragic loss of a student, he began to question what his students were gaining in the long-term from his teaching.
This inspired him to show videos, play examples, and do whatever would be beneficial for his students.
When he was asked to serve on the committee to create state and national standards, Dr. Hoffer firmly supported the inclusion of practical standards that would make a difference in teachers’ lives.
To advocate for music education, Dr. Hoffer utilized a set of questions he considered basic necessities, such as "Can students recognize when the theme comes back? Do they know what a fugue is?".
He believed that all children deserve the right to an education in music so that they can recognize the basics of music throughout the rest of their lives.
Hoffer was elected into the National Association for Music Education Hall of Fame in 2005.
He was recognized at the 60th MENC National Biennial In-Service Conference in April 2006 held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
(C. Hoffer, personal communication, October 23, 2015)
Hoffer has been president of the Indiana Music Educators Association, president of the North Central Division of MENC, and national president of the MENC: The National Association for Music Education (now NAfME).
Not only did he help write Florida's Sunshine State Standards, but also served on the committee that wrote the National Standards in Music.
