My blogs
| Introduction | I've been the Graduate Program Advisor / Assistant Director for Student Services at the SoM for, gulp, 20 years now. I have a Ph.D. in English myself, so I feel your pain. Having studied piano and harpsichord and having sung in choirs since I was a child, I love being around my talented students, and sometimes I've been rewarded with the opportunity to sing in the Recital Choir. I also studied for and passed the School of Music's Piano Proficiency Exam a few years ago and am happy to provide tips. |
