Your Academic Advisors for the Music Program

Are you experiencing worries, conflicts, or particular stress during your music studies? Have you experienced something in a departmental event, a seminar, or an instrumental lesson that has made you feel uneasy or given you a strange gut feeling? Do you feel that certain demands, actions, and/or remarks are unfair, inappropriate, and/or intrusive?

Please contact us! We’d like to offer you guidance and, in the event of a conflict—provided it seems feasible to us and you wish us to do so—mediate and work with you to find possible solutions. As faculty advisors, we are bound to confidentiality.
