Perspectives from the Bass Faculty
Q: What are some of your favorite experiences teaching at your school?
A: The music program is primarily composed of non-majors. As a result, most of the students participating in music are doing so because they love playing their instruments and want to continue playing through college. The atmosphere is fantastic and whether it is in rehearsal or in lessons there is a genuine interest and excitement in music making.
