Dr. Michael Broder is an adjunct instructor of music at Florida Atlantic University, where he teaches Music Theory, Composition, and Orchestration. He holds degrees of D.M. and M.M. in Theory and Composition from Florida State University and B.Mus. in Composition from the University of Georgia. 

As a composer, Broder writes music in which agile melodies, expressive rhythms, and dramatic climaxes typically come to the forefront. His compositions have been performed on various festival programs and on tours throughout the United States by artists such as the Mana Saxophone Quartet, Singularity, and composer-percussionist Jamie Wind Whitmarsh. Broder’s music encompasses a variety of ensembles, including chamber winds and strings, concert band, orchestra, voice, and various solo works. He is a three-time finalist for the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, a winner of Duo Fujin’s 2011 One-Day Composition Contest, and a two-time recipient of the Arnold Salop Memorial Composition Prize. His studies include work with Leonard V. Ball, Clifton Callender, Adrian P. Childs, John Corina, and Ladislav Kubík, and others.
