“Benjamin Franklin said ‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn’. On many occasions I have been privileged to witness, both as insider and observer, the thrilling and gratifying results of an inspired mentor and a protegé working alongside each other. To experience together on stage the results of a high-level performance can be electrifying.”
- Antonio Lysy, Cello Professor
“The faculty, who are by far the most congenial and collaborative that I have encountered in any music school, are the most refreshing and curious mixture of kind, professional, approachable, empathetic, skilled in their crafts,
and dedicated to their students.”
- Morgan O'Shaughnessey, viola, MM
“Professors use students' backgrounds and strengths to fashion individualized programs of study, doing their utmost to help each student succeed.”
- Anna Kouchnerov, violin, BA
