“Eastman is the model to which all music schools should aspire. Eastman has a diverse range of fabulous performance opportunities to allow for creative exploration. Along with a strong foundation of artistic and practical tools, it was this freedom of exploration that molded me into the artist I am today. Receiving my Bachelor and Masters degree at Eastman provided me with memories I will hold dear for life, thanks to the brilliant and supportive faculty, many of whom I will forever consider a part of my extended family.”

“My time at Eastman taught me many things as a student, a singer, and a budding professional. I learned that one cannot rely on talent alone. Hard work, preparation, and tenacity are all major tools necessary for having a successful career as a classical musician and as a current member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus. I made lifelong friends and connections that I cherish everyday along with being helped to realize my future through each performance, class, and life experience. I learned not only about my weaknesses but my strengths as well.”

“I really found myself at Eastman, as a singer, as a musician, as a person. I had so many rich and varied experiences. I was surrounded by students whose talents amazed me and whose ways of thinking expanded my vision. I had excellent instructors who nurtured my love of language, analysis, interpretation, exploring new repertoire, and who also encouraged me to trust my instincts. Perhaps most importantly, I left Eastman with the tools to be a smart and disciplined singer, and to that I owe very much to my voice teacher. She gave me a technique that would serve as a foundation for years to come, and she taught me to use that technique as a means for sending my message out into the world.”

I received excellent vocal instruction, career guidance, and encouragement from the entire voice faculty. It’s a unique place because they care about every student and want them to succeed, regardless of studio. I appreciated the faculty supporting my artistic freedom in order to develop self-confidence. One of the most beautiful things is that they have continued to care and share in my career and it’s successes.”
