My experience as a Dartmouth Music major ('96) played a huge role in me becoming the musician I am today. It was through the grounding in composition and electronic music I received from Dartmouth's Music department that I continued to pursue music after graduation, first independently while working as a software developer, and subsequently full-time after my return to academia.
[more]Dartmouth's masters program in music allowed me to develop my interdisciplinary interests in composition, computer science, and music theory-- The course work was extremely rigorous and interesting, but the most important aspect of the program was its culture of intellectual confidence, creativity and innovation shared among professors and students (who were more like research peers than professors) and the many wonderful guest speakers that came to visit and collaborate with us at Bregman from all over the world.
