Benjamin Bradshaw, Director of Woodwind Studies at SUU, shares, “Master classes taught by professional artists are a great way to provide different perspectives about technique and interpretation for our students. Hearing professional musicians play is a good way to open up their ears to the musical possibilities and goals that they should strive for. A famous composer once said, ‘Whenever a good musician comes to town, you should go and listen!’”
While at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) she was awarded the Graduate Student Leadership award for the Hixon Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts for her contributions to the School of Music and the Graduate Student Association.
