Erin Trautmann
MM '18
I really enjoyed the flexibility I had to choose courses in the MM program, as well as the summers-only format that worked well with my busy teaching schedule. Since most of the classes were in-person, I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with and learn from other music teachers during the summer. The practical nature of the courses meant that I always came back to school in the fall with new strategies that I could implement right away in my classroom!
