Quote: “Participating in the Arts Leadership Program was a key part of my education at Eastman. Eric Booth (the “father of teaching artistry”) visited the first semester I was participating in the ALP, and learning from him about this growing field completely cemented my desire to work in education for a performing arts company. I also had the great luck to intern for Barbara Brown, Director of Education for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, who was not only incredibly supportive and encouraging, but later became a reference for my current position. Although I had spent some time out of school before doing my Master’s, and even worked in arts administration for a few years, I still came away with so much knowledge that I could immediately apply as well as a network of inspiring peers. I encourage every Eastman student to take advantage of this amazing program and to apply for the ALP!”
