What Our Students Are Saying:
Lynchburg College's program was one of only a few summer programs in the United States that I could find that would allow me to continue to work full time during the school year while pursuing an advanced degree.
- Antonis Ververis, a public school music teacher
and conductor of two adult choirs in Greece.
I love the fact that we can immediately apply in a practicum what we learn in our private conducting sessions.
