Student Perspective
“It was high-level music study within the context of a well-rounded liberal education that taught me so much more than just how to play fast notes on the piano. In particular, professors Michael Mizrahi, Dominica Chang, and Cathy Kautsky have regularly gone out of their way to open doors for me—and then to give me advice about how best to walk through those doors.”
