“My experience in the Washington University Music Department opened my eyes and ignited my passion for music, setting me firmly on the path towards a career in the arts. The breadth of course offerings—from traditional music history and theory to one of my most memorable courses, ‘Women in Jazz and Popular Music’—along with excellent vocal and performance training and total creative freedom in my recital programs, resulted in a holistic education that allowed me to shape my musical path and make it truly mine.”
