IUP has taught us so many different ways on how to teach Music Education. We’ve taught
different theories like the Code I and the CMLS, and we have also had opportunities to
go out into the schools and teach lessons and just to learn more about the students
and what it is exactly we want to do, like what school districts and what age groups.
The Music Department has provided so many different ensembles that you can be involved
in. There’s three different bands, three different choirs, an orchestra, and there’s
so many different small ensembles that you can be involved in. IUP has given me the opportunity
to work with composers like Eric Ewazen, Frank Ticheli, and Richard Danielpour. It helped
me grow as a musician because I got to talk to those people who are out there, doing the
things that we love, and to see that we can actually have the opportunity to be where
they are someday.
