This week, we have 2 posts. The first this week is Samuel Vargas, who is finishing his MM in Violin Performance along with the Public Musicology Certificate. Sam Says:

"It's truly gratifying to witness the profound and positive influence that the Musicology program has had on each of its students. As an entrepreneur and concert artist, I've noticed a significant shift in the demands placed on musicians and aspiring professionals in today's dynamic landscape. Many of the opportunities emerging for musicians, as well as for my own students, extend far beyond mere musical proficiency.

This visionary program, under the guidance of Dr. Wissner, embodies a pioneering spirit that transcends traditional boundaries. It provides students with invaluable platforms to not only hone their skills in music administration, research, and public writing but also to embark on a journey of self-discovery. By encouraging exploration and fostering creativity, the Musicology program empowers individuals to delve deeper into their inner selves, unlocking hidden talents and unleashing their full potential."

Congratulations, Sam! We can't wait to see what you do next!
