David Scott Hamnes
About
I am an assistant professor at the Institute for music. My master's degree is in organ performance and musicology, and my doctoral dissertation is on die neue Sachlichkeit in Norwegian church music in the mid 20th century (hymnology/musicology, Australian Catholic University, Melbourne). My bachelor education is in music (organ performance) and pedagogy.
I teach hymnology, liturgical studies and professional identity to both bachelor students, as well as those taking supplementary courses in order to obtain "Kantor" qualifications and supervise master/doctoral candidates in relevant areas.
