Mike Springer
Lewisville-native Mike Springer attended Richland College from September 1986 to May 1988 to study music. His concentration in piano led him to classes taught by Jerry Wallace and Gena Canon. With their help and guidance, he won the Alice B. Jones Scholarship in 1987.
Michael says his time at Richland “provided me a fantastic foundation, and enabled me to gain confidence, save money, and prepare for a four-year university.”
Today, Mike maintains an active schedule as a pianist, teacher, composer/arranger, and adjudicator in the Dallas, Texas area. His students have won top prizes in many competitions in the fields of performance and composition. Mike has composed and arranged extensively for piano, electronic media (MIDI), vocal ensemble, and wind ensemble. He has arranged music and performed on national television commercials and documentaries.
Mike is an accomplished performer in classical and jazz idioms. He has produced and performed on two of his own CDs as well as those of other performing artists and has performed in the United States, South America, and Europe. He is currently the pianist at Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church in Flower Mound, Texas. Mike was graduated from the University of North Texas, where he earned his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in Piano Performance.
Richland College is most proud of this gifted musician!
