    Julia MacAllister ’08 ~ Foundation Relations, Carnegie Hall As a music major at Dartmouth, I learned both content and skills that are essential for my career as a fine arts administrator. In addition to an excellent foundation in musical practice, courses in advanced theory, composition, music history, and orchestration helped me to develop strong creative, analytic, writing, and research skills that I employ daily as a grant writer at a major presenting organization.
