It takes more than talent to build a career. Success in any field requires skills and experiences beyond what you learn in the practice room.

Courses in marketing, finance, teaching, and technology, as well as internships with local, professional arts organizations will help you build the confidence you need to take risks and craft the career of your dreams.
