Dare to Try
"My professors pushed me to 'dare to try' which means that you have to be brave enough to attempt something and risk possibly being really bad at it. But that's the only way to grow, because everybody has to start somewhere, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç excels at providing a safe space for people to do that, in a way many other music schools do not"
Michelle Law Music B.A.
Ambition to Grow
"The culture of the music department when I was there was perfect for where I was in my development as a musician. I found peers who had the same ambitions to grow, and we made each other better. In fact, most of those people are still making a living in the music industry as well. I thrived in the intimate environment at ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç. I think I would've gotten a bit lost at a large school. The relationships I made as a result have helped push me in my career and into the person that I am today."
Daniel Rhine Music B.A.
