Kind words from our graduates


The value of collaboration

Studying music at Emory has been a transformative experience for me. The mentors, colleagues, and friends I have had the pleasure to meet through Music at Emory have created some of my best memories.

Transferrable skills

Studying music at Emory has been one of the best aspects of my liberal arts education. I've been able to cultivate meaningful relationships with faculty, broaden my musical horizons, and gain many transferrable skills. It has been a privilege to study my artistic and performance passions in an academic setting.

A meaningful experience

Studying music has been transformative in ways I never could have anticipated. Most importantly, it has provided me with a balance that I will bring with me for the rest of my academic and personal life.
