Music composer comes back to Bison Hill | Arts & Culture

An alumnus from Oklahoma Baptist University made his way back to Bison Hill earlier this week to speak to faculty and students about technology and the music industry.

Mark Johnson is a seasoned composer, programmer, conductor, orchestrator and educator who graduated from OBU in 1982.

He specializes in the creation of instrumental tracks for film, television and advertising in Nashville.

Earlier this week, Johnson made his way back to the university to discuss his current career.

In addition to explaining the purpose of theory, he spoke about the importance of being able to communicate with other people and other cultures.

During his presentation, he encouraged music students to take advantage of the Internet as a way of researching and networking.
