I would not be where I am now without the guidance, deep knowledge, and musical understanding that my teacher, Prof. Alexander Korsantia, has shared with me. Perhaps even more importantly, he brings to each lesson his passion and curiosity for all things, from world history to film and pop culture, jazz and virtually unknown artists and figures; nothing escapes his interest, and he always finds a way to connect these things with vivid imagination back to the music at hand.
I want to express my gratitude for Prof. Victor Rosenbaum, with whom I studied for 3 years here. He created a uniquely warm environment for all his students and brought that same warmth to his playing and teaching. His dedication to thoughtful, heartfelt music-making is admired by everyone,
faculty and students alike. And this is not even to mention the amount of genuine support he gives his students, outside of just lessons and music.
And finally, a thank you to all the close friends that made my time here fun, accompanied me through the good and bad times, and brought me all the memories and experiences that make me a part of who I am now.
