“Eastman will always hold a special place in my heart. The voice faculty was always so supportive of each and every student. It was a place I felt I could be creative and make mistakes. The academic standard is extremely high and challenged me to always be on my game. The camaraderie among students was one of the fondest memories I have from my two years in the masters program. I learned so much not only from my friends in the voice department, but from those in all departments. And I’ll never forget the opportunity of performing on a stage such as Kodak Hall accompanied by some of the finest young musicians in all the world. It was an unforgettable two years, and I continue to look back fondly at my experience.”

“I’ve found in my few years after Eastman that there isn’t much room for self doubt, confirmed by my teacher’s words: “None of us performs without flaws and the music suffers if we focus on our flaws; breathing well comes from enjoyment and confidence, not just trying to get it right.” Young singers rely on their teachers for guidance in life as well as music. I believe Eastman maintains a faculty cognizant of the influence they have and who attempt at all costs to develop responsible musicians while encouraging them each day to be excited about making music.”
