When did you attend Spring at Tisch? Spring 2016
What did you study during Spring at Tisch? Recorded Music with a focus of Music Technology
Why did you decide to come to Tisch? NYU provided me with a chance to study more than just music performance. I got to develop essential skills in all areas of the industry which not only better prepared me for work but also impacted the way I view and compose music.
How has the Spring at Tisch program affected your future goals and aspirations? Through the combination of classes, I not only developed my musical ability but other skills as well. For example, my writing dramatically improved, and I am now submitting articles for music blogs. This program exceeded all expectations really. I am leaving this exchange as a totally new and improved musician and person, and I have met so many amazing people along the way. This experience and NYU has become a critical part of my success and goals moving forward.
