Where's our Faculty!?


Summer’s the perfect time to finally catch up on your practicing and visit colleges. The only problem with visiting is that most of the music performance faculty is not on campus! This often frustrates prospective students, so this year, I decided to draw up a little list (not at all complete but getting there) of the summer festivals and camps at which our faculty either teach or perform. So whether you’re from Australia, Singapore, New York or Oregon, you just might find them in your neck of the woods. If you do, feel free to shoot them an email, they might be available to meet with you and even hear you play. How’s that for getting a jumpstart on your college search!

End of the Year Celebrations

Barbecues, sunshine, graduates… yup, it’s here again, we made it to the finish line! As the academic year draws to a close, it seems like there are constant celebrations with free cupcakes, free ice cream, and today: free barbecue (courtesy of our music fraternity). Congratulations to all our students and graduates on a spectacular year of music making!


I follow my nose to find the free barbecue right outside of my office!

You just never know what you're going to see outside of the music building.. (yes, that's a tightrope walker)
