Do you know Graham Jacobson(CC'16)?
I am a senior in SEAS majoring in biomedical engineering with minors in mechanical engineering and music.
I have been in the Music Performance Program since my freshman year.
The MPP is amazing because it allows students to study with world renowned musicians with whom we would never otherwise have the chance to study.
Senior
Music major, computer science concentration
Since first semester of freshman year.
There are very few parts of my musical life that MPP hasn't in some way helped out. I've been able to play in many great chamber music ensembles with wonderfully accomplished coaches, and there always seems to be some performance opportunity available whenever I need it. Even though I take lessons outside of Columbia, MPP has provided me with the funding necessary for me to do so. Columbia doesn't have a conservatory program, but it certainly feels like the offerings are equivalent to one. It is also an immense help that all of the ladies working the MPP office are incredibly warm, supportive, and generous.
Columbia College, ’16.
Philosophy.
I have been participating in the MPP since my freshman year here. I began with the MPP in the big band jazz ensemble my first year, and I have been participating in the jazz program ever since. I have also performed in the Columbia-Juilliard showcases since my junior year.
Sophomore
I'm hoping to major in music and physics with a concentration in mathematics.
I've been a part of MPP since the first day I set foot on campus as a student.
Being a member of the CUO and working under Maestro Milarsky has contributed enormously to my growth as a musician.
