Nick Gillock holds a B.M.E. from Kansas State University and a M.M. in Musicology from UMKC. At UMKC, he completed a thesis titled “Oh, When the Wiz: An Ethnography of Communal Music-Making in Kansas City Soccer Culture” and was named the Muriel McBrien Kauffman Superior Graduate Teaching Assistant. Prior to his graduate studies, he was the choral director at Indian Trail Middle School in Olathe, KS for several years.
As an advisor, Nick relishes the opportunity to help provide support and guidance to students pursing the betterment of themselves through education. As a musicologist, Nick is fascinated by communal music-making in athletic spaces, minimalism and post-minimalism, saloon and drinking songs, and music curricula in higher education. When not working with current and future Roos, Nick enjoys performing choral music around Kansas City, trying new restaurants, and watching more soccer than any one person should.
