Our work speaks for itself.

“Every summer, I coach the Boston Symphony’s Tanglewood Music Center trumpet section alongside my colleague Tom Rolfs. Section playing is a core part of our fellowship curriculum. Through playing with colleagues in this setting, young musicians learn to listen more intently, match each other’s musical ideas, and communicate more effectively with their peers. Jon-Michael’s project is an important resource that will allow Michigan State students to hone in on these essential skills, and make professional connections with leading figures in their field. I would hope that Michigan State is able to invest in more of these outreach initiatives to equip their students with both the skills and connections needed to thrive in today’s job market.”
