Faculty
The students and faculty are the heart and soul of the School of Music. Both pursue growth and significance in their life work; each spurs the other on toward excellence. We invite you to look at our faculty’s bios. Many of our faculty members are already internationally renowned; other younger professors, we anticipate, will soon become equally well known. Some may be less familiar names to you, but these professors are among the most dedicated and accomplished professionals in the nation. They care about their students and delight in seeing them develop as scholars, teachers, composers, and performers. The faculty has vibrant, brilliant, personable, and encouraging members. They will impart to you all that you are open to learn from them. We have fine facilities and a great library, but we believe that it is our faculty that will draw you here.
