Faculty
Our unparalleled faculty is the cornerstone of the educational experience in the School of Music. Our faculty consists of internationally recognized scholars, musicians, and teachers, who bring their real-world experience directly into the classroom, rehearsal hall, and studio. With some of the most prominent musical experts in the Twin Cities--many members of the Minnesota Orchestra or the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra--our collaborative and creative faculty guide students as they develop into scholars, teachers, composers, and performers.
