    My Freshman fall, I was thrown into the Music Department headfirst with an introductory class in Electro-Acoustic music.  From then on, I spent many Friday nights and weekends locked in the music department's BritTrax recording studio, creating my own pieces and playing with new sounds and ideas outside of class.  It was this kind of extra-curricular encouragement, to not only learn the core theoretical elements in the major, but also be inspired and given the tools to experiment on my own that ultimately shaped my Dartmouth music experience.  From student-run A Cappella and musical theater

    I was drawn to the music major by the varied, novel coursework and unparalleled intimacy. Even though I did not choose a career in music, the department afforded me with a strong network of advisors and friends to help me find my way. I have been teaching Spanish for the last three years in Connecticut. As a teacher, I place great importance on developing the 21st century skills that I honed through my music studies: communication skills, scholarship, critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability.

    For me as a musician, Dartmouth was a place where anything was possible. I entered as an electric guitar player, thrilled to find a home playing jazz with the Barbary Coast and rocking fraternity parties on the weekends with a great band. I graduated as a music major who had discovered a love of Mozart, cultivated skills on the classical guitar with a great teacher, and spent my entire senior year composing and producing my own opera.

    One of the biggest influences during my time at Dartmouth was the Music FSP in 1999, which took place in London and led by Professor Sally Pinkas. During my junior year, I was fortunate to explore this fantastic city along with 16 of my classmates, where we attended concerts of everything from opera, symphony orchestras, string quartets (the Brentano Quartet at Wigmore Hall was one of my most vivid memories), to jazz singers, experimental and electronic music.
