Jason Falkofsky is an engaging choral and musical theater educator with experience conducting and coaching singers of all ages—from elementary students to senior adults. He returns to Case Western Reserve University for the 2025–2026 academic year as conductor of the Case Glee Club, a position he also held from 2016 to 2020 while completing his doctoral studies.
An active freelance musician, music director, accompanist, and clinician, Jason serves as Music Minister at Historic St. Peter Church in downtown Cleveland and provides musical support for several other area churches. His research interests focus on pedagogy and participation in lower-voice choral ensembles, as well as singers’ identities within the choral context. He sang for 18 seasons with the Baldwin Wallace University Men’s Chorus and is the founder of The Men’s Ensemble @ St. Peter, a tenor-bass choir comprised of professional, semi-professional, and advanced singers who gather monthly to perform for church services.
Jason is a member of NAfME, OMEA, ACDA, and OCDA. He previously served as OCDA Men’s/Tenor-Bass Repertoire & Resources Chair and currently chairs the Musical Theater Track for the annual OMEA Professional Development Conference. He is also an adjudicator for the Dazzle Awards, a high school musical theater program sponsored by Cleveland’s Playhouse Square.
He holds degrees in music education from Baldwin Wallace University, Kent State University, and Case Western Reserve University. Before pursuing his PhD, Jason taught high school for 16 years, directing choirs, teaching general music, and music-directing numerous musical theater productions.
