She holds a Master of Music in Music Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the University of Oregon.
Salzman-Coon has taught general music, band, and choir at all age levels from pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade. A true cross-specialist, she has taught collegiate students seeking licensure in both general elementary and band specializations, is a Feierabend certified elementary specialist, and has conducted athletic, concert, and jazz bands at all age and ability levels. Her research interests include pre-service teacher training, teacher health, career longevity, fostering inclusive ensembles, and effective cross-specialty teaching strategies.
When she isn’t teaching or making music, Olivia enjoys hiking with her husband Josh and their basset hounds, Mabel and Lucy, or looking for the perfect almond milk latte.
