I recommend that aspiring composers go to some of the hundreds of productions Hartt students and faculty present every year. Seeing my colleagues’ work was one of the most important things I did at the University. The standards are incredibly high, so it is extremely rewarding to see and listen to what others are performing. I also traveled throughout Connecticut and to Boston and New York as often as possible to attend concerts.

Writing always came in little bursts for me. Before I attended Hartt, I was very haphazard in the way I went about things and much of it was guess work. Now I am proud of what I’ve created. Of course we all want to have that one concert work that sticks in the cannon for years and years and we become known for, so that gives me something to strive for. show less

Improv comedy is something that has changed the way I look at life. It has been a key catalyst in my college career. To pursue further training, and even comedic writing, I will be heading to Chicago to take classes with the teachers in the improv epicenter of the United States, while also pursuing a graduate study in communications and behavioral sciences.

The opportunity to get involved with a student group like Stop Laughing Mom, combined with the knowledge I have gained and the mentoring I have received as a communication major studying human communication, journalism, and media, has made my University of Hartford experience invaluable. I really feel as though it was tailored exactly to what I wanted out of an education. show less
