T.J. Harper, DMA Chair, Associate Professor, Choral Director
I believe the purpose of a high-quality choral music program is to assist in our students' intellectual and social development. I am committed to creating a learning environment that foregrounds artistic and academic musical exploration, helping students discover new perspectives as they are guided through an investigation of the interdisciplinary nature of choral music."
