Hudde pedagogical experience includes teaching diverse music courses at UCLA, CSU Fullerton, Scripps College, Harvey Mudd College, Soka University of America, Cambridge Centre for International Research (UK), New England Conservatory of Music, and UC Riverside. As an emerging and respected scholar from Venezuela and the U.S., my research articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Current Musicology, Oxford Bibliographies, Journal of the Socierty for American Music, Latin American Music Review, Diagonal: An Ibero-American Music Review, Revista Musical Chilena, Músicaenclave, and Harvard Review of Latin America.
Hermann Hudde earned a PhD in Musicology from the University of California, Riverside (2021) with his dissertation “Negotiating Politics and Aesthetics: The Untold History of Latin America Modern Art Music in the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood (1940-1951).” He also holds a Master of Music Degree with a Music-in-Education concentration (2008) at New England Conservatory in Boston, under the tutelage of Robert Sullivan and a Master of Arts in Musicology from Brandeis University thanks to the support of scholarships. Hermann also earned a bachelor’s degree in music at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold Abteilung Münster, Germany (2003) and a bachelor’s degree in international studies at the Universidad Central de Venezuela (1998). Hermann received a scholarship from The Mozarteum University in Salzburg to attend the Summer Academy (2004), where he met and became a student of Edoardo Catemario at the Accademia Musicale di Firenze, Italy (2005-06). Hermann began his guitar studies in Venezuela with Rubén Riera and studied music theory with the composer Alvaro Cordero. For more information please visit: www.hhudde.com

In Latin America, the musical and cultural synergy between Indigenous, European, and African cultures has transformed the nation into an intercultural space in which original musical genres and instruments have been created. Namely, the diverse musical expressions that arose across Latin America are evidence of this transculturation among Indigenous, European, and African cultures.
