“Take advantage of everything the Conservatory has to offer: join ensembles, attend recitals, and meet with faculty. Also, build relationships with your professors and classmates. Several of those relationships will last long after you graduate.”

Professor Amanda Heim and a student talking to each other
“I would be remiss to not include both Prof. Avner Dorman and Prof. Russell McCutcheon as my most influential faculty mentors. I can’t begin to say all of the lessons that I’ve learned and applied from both of them. Above all, they taught me the value of a keen sense of practicality and when to leave that practicality behind.”
