This major has been pretty eye-opening for me ... it exposes you to the vulnerability and desire to put your talent out into the world.

I’m in a couple of ensembles and have lessons three times a week. I think it’s nice to put all your effort into one thing.

We have classical and jazz here, which gives me a well-rounded experience. I was in a jazz band that introduced me to the world of jazz.

Our program is pretty intimate, which allows me to be close with drum and composition jazz professors — people I didn’t expect to learn from as a trumpet player.
