Life

Brockman was the first woman in the history of the University of Michigan to earn a doctorate in composition. Scholarships enabled her to study in Paris (with Max Deutsch) and Vienna. Her teachers included Leslie Bassett, Ross Lee Finney, George Balch Wilson, Wallace Berry and Eugene Kurtz. She taught for nine years at the University of Connecticut, where she founded an electronic music studio, and at the Hartt School of Music, the University of Rhode Island and the University of Michigan. As one of five recipients of a Sundance Institute Film Composers’ Lab grant, she worked with Henry Mancini, Bruce Broughton, Alan Silvestri and David Newman.

She then worked in Los Angeles as a composer for film and television scores before settling in Santa Monica as a freelance composer. She was a board member of the New York Composers Concordance, Women in Film and the Society of Composers and Lyricists in Los Angeles.
