BM '12 (Vocal Performance), MAT '13 (Music Education)
UArts is an incredibly innovative campus. My prior knowledge of music and teaching was elevated to a new standard because of the rigorous curriculum and high expectations for student achievement. The Vocal and Music Education departments are prestigious with professors that are also working musicians. My greatest influences while attending UArts were Paul Spencer Adkins and Jeffrey Kern.
Bridget Warren began piano lessons at seven years old. At age 16, she taught voice and piano at a local music store and was later accepted at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She received a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance and a MAT in Music Education in 2013. Upon graduation, Bridget was accepted as a student performer of the Bel Canto Institute program in Florence, Italy.
